I had an old bike, which basically couple of weeks ago fell apart, it was going to cost a lot of money to fix and I felt depressed as I love riding my bike
I spoke to the guy at the bike shop who suggested cycle to work scheme,so checked it out www.cyclescheme.co.uk
My employer was cool about joining it and I get tax/NI breaks and save myself some cash
I couldn’t find the bike I wanted locally,found one in London at Cyclesurgery www.cyclesurgery.com they delivered it for a tenner!
I visualised myself riding it, went on websites looking at pictures and stuck up a picture on my fridge, so I would see every morning, kept affirming that this bike was mine
I had it a week now and it’s fabulous, it’s also helping me get fit
I’ve been out cycling with my son along the cycle and canal paths
The bike is a Marin Point Reyes
