Wow, that sounds great!

We should try it, I think.

I don't know .. not sure I like the sound of joining the "lycra clad masses".

Though, I did hear it said that you're exempt from road tax if you've got a bike. Something like that anyway ..

what the deuce!?!

Surely that means you can't use the road though?

Nah, apparently it just means you've not paid for it and are being subsidised by "the poor long suffering motorist".

Quote "How much you need so spend is up to you. You can pick up a standard bicycle for £100 or so but professional super-light models go for several thousand pounds. If you're just using your bike for commuting, rather than competing, a mid-range model of £200 to £500 should do."

Where do you get the standard bicycles for £100 B)

The whole commuter bike thing is a bit of a crock, imo.

Most people should go to their shed, get what's in there, and have a go[1].

[1] Provided that they find a bike there, that is. Don't try it on the kids' space hopper. Or maybe do, although luggage solutions may be difficult.

£100 is a bit of extravagance (sp?). I've rode bikes I've picked out of skips.
