Hi i currently ride a scott spark rc but i am after a second bike one that i could leave at work and not worry about someone taking it. what i am after is a hard tail and either a 650b or a 29er as i live in suffolk where it's fairly flat what would you recommend? i am looking at a Cube LTD 29 Hardtail or a Boardman Pro Hardtail 29er thanks for any help.

oh yeah it will be on the cycle to work scheme £1000

Depends what's available at the shops using the scheme.

Yeah but what shops use the scheme, some cycle2work schemes are only for specific shops i.e. Halfords or Evans.

i am having a look at the moment but there does't seem to be that many.

The cycle 2 work scheme is exclusive to Halfords. Other retailers use other schemes such as 'ride to work', 'bike to work' etc.

You are not just limited to Halfords bikes though. You can get hold of any bikes that Leisure Lakes stocks through the cycle to work scheme, which opens your selection up to brands such as Specialized, Trek, Scott etc. albeit they would be lower models.

Yes, there are loads of different versions of this scheme -Halfords, Evans and the NHS have their own for example. I think the most widespread one amongst bike shops is 'cyclescheme'. First double check which scheme you are on, then the scheme website should tell you where you can purchase from. I used cyclescheme at Ribble, Winstanleys Bikes (on a sale bike) and On One over the years.
