Need A Bike

Strider said:

Hi all,

I live in the UK and I've just changed my job and now it's
just the right distance to cycle into work each day.

I'm looking for great deals on cycles in the UK.
Preferably with interest free credit. I don't need
anything special or fancy just a good reliable road bike
which I can also ride along some of the cycle paths I use
without having to worry.

Advice would be appreciated.

I suppose it depends on how hilly it is round you / how far
you have to go / what you have to carry / how quickly you
want to get there, and of course what you want to spend. A
friend's just picked up a 7 gear hybrid jobby for £200, very
comfy to ride but having 7 gears, it's rather restricted as
far as getting anywhere quickly goes for those of us who
aren't roadies who spin the pedals at 1000rpm 🙂. Bike shops
often offer credit, and if I were you, I'd buy from a shop
rather than online. You might pay more for the bike, but you
also tend to get a couple of services chucked in for nowt.

See previous threads - why not try asking your new employer
to buy you one?

I wouldn't like to appear impertinent.
