I ended up putting my Cube on 12months Interest Free with Leisure Lakes. Didn't need to but as its interest free I thought why not.

36 months was an example, lots of places will do less. It's exactly the same as cycle to work except you own it straight away...

I'm looking at getting a bike and putting it on my own interest free credit card.

I've had my Demo since 2007 and Hustler before that so I'm sure I'll poke up with this one

Had a look at that voodoo hoodoo for 450, seems a decent bike that. If I haven't sorted anything else out in a couple of weeks may go get one. Decent spec on it.

12 months would be ok and interest free but any longer than that is a no for me personally.

I know this is a typical noob/internet question but how much does a nigga have to spend on a new bike these days?

I've probably done more miles on my 10 year old bike in the last 5 weeks then I have in the whole 10 years of ownership but I'd love something abit more up to date and light, I'm always having niggly problems with the bike but I'm reluntant to keep piling money into the turd.

Paying for a bike over 3 years

I couldn't afford what I wanted outright so I bought something cheaper and second hand off eBay. Fuck strapping a bike on.

It's nothing like the cycle to work scheme. U don't pay tax on it.

What's best for keeping my trainers and socks dry in this weather ?

I meant more in the sense you pay monthly as yes, C2W is tax free.

I would never have one over 36 months, rather pay things off quickly than have it hanging over me for years.

Well the bike has gone in for a service, all thats needed was a new chain and some brake pads. Not too bad!

Although I find myself looking on Wiggle far too often for upgrades. This gets a bit addictive!
