    This seems a good enough reason to me. How much does gym membership cost for year? Bike is much better value.

    Hmm. Cycling is ok but to be fit for the forces you need to get fit by running. And you may as well get used to it because you'll be doing A LOT of it :D

    Being 22 and self employed doesn't mean much when your still living at home. Whenever I get a parcel my mum is right there, grilling me for spending more money "on that bloody bike" or "computers and games"...

    Really hope my mate can find a job this summer so we can get a place together and I can receive a parcel without suffering the spanish inquisition.
