[Request] Cheap bike

Civpro

Hi,

Anyone any suggestions about getting a cheap bike for the commute into work? Dont want one that will get stolen so nothing too fancy needed.

Cheers,

Davy

Since its for commuting, this just might be want you need: http://www.bikescheme.ie/

Its run in connecting with your employer where you get the bike and its paid for over the year.

Participating in the bicycle scheme is easy. If your employer decides to take part, they simply buy the bike and equipment on your behalf and off you go. Its is up to you and your employer to decided whether they buy the bike outright for you or whether you pay for it via ‘salary sacrifice’. Either way you save on tax.

The new bike scheme covers bicycles and accessories up to a maximum cost of €1,000. The bicycle must be purchased by your employer but the scheme can then operate either with your employer bearing the full cost of the bicycle, or by way of a salary sacrifice agreement (like the existing travel card scheme) in which you pay for it, tax free, over 12 months.

A cheap bike is a false economy. I have a decent bike you can paint it up to look totally crap to stop it being nicked.

I picked up a good bargain city bike on chainreaction.com - free delivery from the uk. You have to browse hard for the bargains though.
