Hi, first post and brand new to all this.
At work we have a cycle to work scheme but have to buy our bike's and equipment from Halfords and as it is a tax efficient benifit we end up getting 40% of the total price. Now, I live in a village around the South Downs and would have to cycle 7 mile to the station and 7 mile back late at night, ( shouldn't be a problem as I jog 30m a week) so 50 and reasonably fit.
Now not sure what type of bike, as I would also like to use the bike on the South Downs Way and roads around here as well as a commute. It will also be getting safety and security equipment which is important as it will be locked up at the local station in the evening when I work, so what lock? Hybrid, road or mountain?
As part of the scheme we can pick a bike and order it through Halfords, I'd be looking at a retail price of about £400
Any advice welcome,
Thanks
