    But bargains for others! On the other hand they may be very wise - I can spend £3k per bike on our bike to work scheme, which would cost me £1,500 over 12 months. I could then sell for at least the £1,500 it's cost me (possibly more), so I get a dream bike brand new every year for nothing :D
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    your fiendish plan only possibly thwarted by the fact ...."If your employer wants to supply bikes costing over £1000 (retail price including VAT) then they will need a Consumer Credit Licence, and this costs £725, so many employers limit the package value to £1000." tell me who you work for ....i want access to 3k per bike ! :(


    damn , those pesky kids ! :twisted:

    I wonder how many of those bikes are hot? I work in London and our office is being used for surveillance after around £50k worth of bikes have been stolen from the bike park opposite in the past few months.

    Suggest you edit the last post - the police will not be happy with you informing everyone of an active observation. Kind of defeats the point.

    That's OK, I read it before you did that. I'll not be parking my bike there then!
