My employers are opening up their bi-annual Cycle To Work scheme this week for a blink of the eye six weeks. Scheme is being run by cyclesolution (related to wheelies.co.uk) and all bikes have to be purchased through them. Sadly no option to support the local bikes shops it seems :-(

Has anyone any experience of buying through them? What I've found on internet reviews so far is not particularly flattering on customer services/after sales i.e it's a box it and ship 'em' approach.

Sensible head says no to buying a first road bike on the internet without trying it out for size and have it set it up properly. Bargain hunter sees tax break and installments the most appealing way to shell out for a new bike. Could this end up being a false economy?

Holy sheeeeet! If any of you have an insurance company that will deal with bike theft by giving you a voucher that you can only use at Wheelies, rectify that as soon as you can. If you don't know, I'd check.
