We used to stick to the £1000 limit (Thats the max the company will let you put through)

But then we also used to let people put the rest on 0% finance which worked well!

Only problem is the company you work for technically own the bike and can take it back at any time until you make the final payment. So if you get to the end of the year and have spend another £1500 on finance and they want it back, its goodbye £1500!

Highly unlikely this will happen but if you get fired or anything it could do!

That's pretty much what I would be looking to do and I'm a part owner of the business so unless we go bump in the next 12 months I should be alright

Well went for my first ride out this year. Went to Whinlatter and it was horrible! First I struggled to get my gear on I'm that fat and second it's thick with snow and ice.

Only fell off four times, spat the dummy and came home

Well I think it'll be a while until I'm back in the saddle following a big off at Hamsterly at the weekend, dislocated shoulder, fractured socket and 7 stitches in my arm, absolute bloody nightmare as I was just starting to get some fitness back!

Was a bit of a freak accident on the last section of Accelerator, came over a small jump, wheel landed on a particularly slippy piece of stone face and the wheel slid under me, full weight on to my elbow causing my shoulder to pop out, the fractured socket actually occurred when the hospital put it back in! I can honestly say I've never experienced pain like it!

Don't think you can play for things like that not to happen when bike riding

Cracking, especially if you check out the pinkbike forum.
