The Cycle2Work scheme will be starting at work soon and I'm thinking of getting a hybrid.
The aim is to use it for general exercise. In particular where I'd normally jump in the car to go into town or to friends will take the bike instead.
So what's my dilemma.
I would want something decent. In the scheme we have to use Halfords (unfortunately) but fortunately the Boardman Hybrids are pretty good. I can afford a nice bike so I am looking at two models priced at £750 and £1000.
But I'm worried about security. If I take it to town and lock it n a cycle rack will it till be there when I get back. Particularly as many of the components are quick release and can be removed in seconds.
Am I being paranoid. Do you have his fer or any experience, good or bad.
A cheaper bike would be less attractive but I don't want one of those.
Cheers,
Nigel
