Default Anyone Used Cyclescheme.co.uk to buy a bike this year?

Am waiting for work to confirm details for it this year (was run last year) but they are dragging their heels. Someone I just spoke to said they read a bit in the paper about the Govt pulling the plug on such schemes. Was wondering how much truth there is to this - if someone has got a bike already this financial year it would dispell a few myths.

Cheers,
Simon

no this financial year since it has just started and it takes a few months to set up AFAIK, a colleague here had one at the last quarter of last year if that helps.

I took part in a scheme like this 3 years ago, walked into Halfords with my £550 voucher and walked out half hour later with a £150 bike and £400 of "associated safety equipment" - £400 sat nav unit

Hmm looks like work has decided to change from Cycletowork to Halfords. Need to do some more reading but at least they have confirmed they running one this year

Just remember you are 'renting' the bike, just in case anyone thinks about changing jobs during the year etc
