    Called Halfords and nothing in stock at any store locally. They said it's worse than Christmas x 10. Literally no bikes left.

    I managed to find one 50 miles away in Preston for £1,000. My initial budget was £500-£600 but I figured with the tax benefits I might as well.
    What tax benefits?

    When I looked you could only get any benefit if you used the bike mostly for business.

          Point the road up and I'll happily climb 10% gradients all day long

          Not too keen on the downhill bits though with the state of some roads in these parts!

                But his charmlessness is what is so charming! It's a public service benchmark against which all others can be measured.

                    And you still manage to squeeze under it.
