Cycle to Work Through Own Company

[htid]

Thanks again everybody.

Yeah as I said at the beginning, the company I work for only has 7 employees (myself being there the longest after the MD) so I'm on very friendly terms with the MD and he's happy to help in any way he can. In fact he's not massively into cycling but did do the Etape just before the tdf so he gets the whole cycling thing which always helps!

It's probably best to not imply that you are planning on committing fraud on a public forum.

Why is that fraud, jayclock says that she will use it in the week for work duties (presumably commuting), and he potentially at the weekend...how do you know they aren't man and wife for example?

@htid not getting on with the whyte?

The Whyte is good and I'm happy with it for the most part. Going to continue using that to commute from train station to work at one end and get the new one to commute at my home end/take out at weekends.

Still not managing the full ride without the train?

I wouldn't leave any bike at a station overnight even with security skewers and beefy locks

I can manage it easily, the thing is I really don't like it along busy roads. I feel slightly unsafe and I hate having to constantly keep a look out for potential dangers. I did plan to do it every day but it's just not worth the hassle and it only costs me £15 a week.

The Whyte stays at Wimbledon station overnight in their bike room. It's locked overnight and you can't get into it without going through the barriers as it's actually inside the station. There are probably 100 bikes in their every night so I guess it's safe enough!
