Getting one through the wife's work cyclescheme. Don't want a Brompton, fancy something a little sportier with 20" wheels.

I got an email the other day from go outdoors with some folding bike offers, I deleted it though but I think it was a 20" for £100.
Cheers.

Is the cyclescheme the 'Cycle To Work' scheme, if so you probably shouldn't be asking questions like this on the interwebs!

Anyway, why do you want a folder - if it's to take on a train, you really should reconsider a Brompton as nothing beats it for the fold and it's folded compactness

1. Fraud.

2. You'll struggle to get a discounted bike on cyclescheme - they take a 10% cut.

3. You're already getting it cheap, give up tight-fistedness for a few seconds and do it properly. Brompton.

Didn't say 'I' was getting one... 😉

Gonna be doing some miles on it so didn't really fancy a Brompton. Wanted something like a Dahon Mu SL though tjey aren't made anymore. Light and racy.

Wife's last bike on the scheme was heavily discounted.
