Apparently, I have to find a bike shop to give me a quote for what I want first & I'm hoping someone can help..
Hi. You have not said where you are.
Well different employers may do it differently. In my case I just get a quote for a bike and gear to the amount I want to spend. My employer then issues me with a voucher for that amount which I give to the bike shop against whatever I ultimately decide to buy.The scheme works like this
You find a bike you want to buy and get a Pro-Forma invoice ( like a quote) from the shop, with the total cost including any accessories you intend buying (mudguards, lights, helmet, carrier, pump etc).
Your employer pays the shop directly and takes the money from your gross pay.
I heard recently that the bike-to-work scheme is subject to widespread abuse - people are buying all kinds if things (e.g lawnmowers, white goods etc) and getting the shops to issue receipts showing bikes or bike equipment.
It's a bit disappointing really. Anyone else hear about this?
What you are looking for is a tourer bike, sometimes these days, they are called hydrids. They never have mudguards and a carriers but they are always available...
