So..... cycling

Goose · 11-06-2009, 16:13

Having never fully recovered from having a large prop land on my awkwardly-positioned knee, I've had to ditch running in favour of cycling (40+ miles a day at the moment). Well, it's either that or see a doctor!

Does anyone else cycle much?

*wants to*

*doesn't have a cycle bike*

*leaves thread sad*

Awwww....I'm sowry.

I'm trying to get a bike through the cycle2work scheme

Goose · 11-06-2009, 16:45

Good work. I try not to push these things too much (being a member of a local cycling organisation), but the cycle2work scheme is really good.

Our HR drag their feet too much, so I've bought a hybrid whilst I wait for them to make up their minds. Not sure whether a road bike is covered under the scheme though.

depending on the scheme they join you can buy whatever bike you like apart from unicycles

I've been pestering LeperousDust for advice, poor sod

hehe

Let me know how you get on, it'll be nice to hear of a business that actually does it.

leowyatt · 11-06-2009, 16:52

Well it's currently with the directors to decide if they want to do it. I'll let you know how I get on though. Got my bike and gear picked out just need the voucher to go buy

What sort of price are reasonable road bikes nowadays? (racer type that is not road going mountain bikes)

Goose · 11-06-2009, 17:00

Between £600 and £7000, depending on what you want. I have one somewhere in that range in my basket, just waiting for an excuse/bonus.

Wiggle have a nice sale on at the moment.
