Hi to all those cyclists out there. Through work there is a scheme where I can "rent" a bike over 3 years with them and avoid paying tax / NI on the money which is taken to pay for the bike.
So I'm thinking of getting one. Thinking of a budget of about £250 and on looking at them I'm not really sure which features are worth getting and which aren't. Mountain bike? Road bike? Suspension? Disc breaks? Anything else?
Generally I think it will be road use but as we're in a fairly rural location there may be some dirty track, off road type riding too?
Any particular brands / models that you'd suggest in this sort of price region?
Thanks!
Edit - This is one of the bike shops nearby which participates in the scheme.
This could be the sort of thing I'd be looking at?
Ben Hayward Cycles: Online Shop - Marin Bolinas Ridge 2007
Or this?
Ben Hayward Cycles: Online Shop - Marin Pioneer Trail
Or another bike shop in the scheme
