For that money, I'd want an engine fitted to it

I bought this bike from halfords recently, it was excellent value, well made and very well balanced. It is fit for purpose and worth considering. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId_165630

I did this morning it was quicker than the car. I couldn't find anywhere to fix the blue light though!!

It's nice bike, carbon forks so that will make the ride a bit smoother. If it's for general commuting etc then it's ideal and good value. Boardman bikes have been getting some pretty good reviews and this is certainly as good as anything else available at the same price. My personal choice would be to go with drop habdle bars as they offer more hand positions (for comfort) and are a bit quicker, but this is a good bike, especially through the B2W scheme

Tasty. Just upgrade to proforce V2 low-kick, semi-quad-mid-stiff-tip, slice-curing forks and it'll be the dogs.

Not impressed -price of an entry level racer for an over spec'd sit up and beg, I'm sure you could find better at a specialist bike shop.

Picked this one up in the same scheme,even tho i work 40 miles away they said we could get one as it promotes health and well being , my arse.
Not a bad bike for the cash.

All of the info above is bang on but I do think you could get something comparable for less money.

I am a pure racing bike nut.

Spent thousands on my road bike.

1st of all top marks for looking to leave the car and pedal to work.
I did it before I started working from home for myself,somehow it is just a lot more satisfying to get there under your own steam.
Great for your fitness,health and general well being as well

I have recently been looking at hybrids to attach a baby seat on the back for family bike rides.

Like you say though with the bike to work scheme why not treat yourself,its a very solid machine!
