Hi There! Thanks for that, and you're absolutely right! It's called the cycle2work scheme and it's up to individual employers to sign up to it. They then buy you a bike and you lease it off them for a couple of years and then buy it for pence (I mean cents).

Trouble is I've been waiting since last July for my employer to put all the paperwork through and I feel right now as if it's never gonna happen. Of course, there's every chance that 2 weeks after I get a bike it will all go through but hey, 2 bikes is better than 1 right?!
