Best £500 road bike on Halfords C to W Scheme SPECIAL ORDER

galatzo

A mate at work has just told me he's got £500 on the Cycle to Work Scheme at Halfords.

(If he'd told me sooner I'd have talked him into a couple of hundred quid more and he'd probably have a Boardman but he didn't so here we are).

What's the best road bike Halfords will get you through the Cycle to Work Scheme ?

I know they can order some brands but nor sure which and I haven't looked into the £500 sector for a long long time.

Has to be £500 or less as you can't put any cash towards the amount you've already agreed.

Thanks

I to been looking at the halfords cycle to work scheme if you phone this number 0845 120 5065 with a few suggestions of bikes you fancy in that price which halfords don`t stock they will try and source them for you.

They can get pretty much any brand except for Bianchi and Focus. And if your mate finds a bike/make he especially wants, phone them directly, because they will normally allow to add your own money on to the purchase, just not officially.

I used the halfords scheme and took it to Leisure Lakes bikes in Bury. They accept them and I purchased a Specialized Allez for £500. It's been a great bike, which I recently took to Spain for 200 miles of sunny riding in November!

You can add to it there as well, so if you budget is bigger, you can buy a better equipped bike.
