Afaik most bike's don't have a weight limit unless it's a light weight race bike. And good on your sister for taking an interest :)

I asked our dearly beloved HR dept the other day about bike stuff (my new staff think I'm obsessed with getting them to cycle to work). Apparently we don't do the Cycle to Work scheme but you can get a bike loan which you pay back out of your wages monthly over 12 months. So far so good but you can only get £400! I told her that wasn't enough for what I wanted ;-)

If they deduct it before stoppages, you should still get the tax benefits, will they let you top up?

I presume so, I haven't checked yet. It's a bit too tempting. I don't *need* a road bike and a cross bike would only be silly....

Stepford, *need* has nothing to do with the purchase of bicycles. It's all about *want* :)

Oh dearie me, Hannetje! T'wife got her first taste of mountain biking today on a track which was leading to an easier route but was a bit tough for her technical abilities so far. Fun though.
