You pay it back over a year in which you are effectively renting the bike of the company whilst you pay it back. At the end of the year you then pay a " market value" for the bike and it is all yours

Yeah but seriously I don't want or need a £700 push bike. I won't pay more than £350. Used to be able to get good Carreras for that.

Same, but I still ended up going for a £600 bike. My old bike lasted me years, and that got used every day for school. So I figure a good one will last longer.

Wagwan, I might have to get that Carrera then, it's black with green writing on it.

Lovely.

Have a look at it.

Just had a look at the details on our website, ours is even easier to do. I just go and find a bike, then tell them how much I need and they send me the vouchers and I go and buy it.

Lucky for me AW Cycles are listed so can go and have a look at a few other makes.

Was going to say if you are now willing to spend £700 you may as well get something like a Specialized, Trek, Scott etc.

Marin



£619

Cost me £44 a month I think, still think it's too expensive might stick with £300 Carrera for what it will get used for.
