Cycle to Work Scheme - recommendations needed

[wiggydiggy]

Ace, I've done a bit of a sub-editor job on this, hope that's okay! http://biketoworkchallenge.org/im-fitter-happier-richer/

Do you have a photo you'd like me to add?

I'll dig out a suitably cycle-y shot for you

For those who want a road bike, Planet X do a 999 Carbon with Ultegra.

I was interested in getting one of these on the Cyclescheme until I realised Planet X charged an additional 10% when using CS vouchers. So the bike would have ended up costing me £1100. That alone has put me off buying a bike from Planet X using CS vouchers in the future.

In the end I purchased a Giant TCX SLR2 with my voucher from my LBS.

Great bike - great value - but I understand that they change you more if you do via the CTW scheme as their margins are low

I didn't realise thatI read that they specifically priced it at 999 to capture the CTW market, thanks for the info..
