I am on my 4th bike from cycle to work, a Cube, Specialized, Focus and Canodale . I work for Strathclyde Fire and Rescue who do it through Halfords and I have never had a Halfords bike. They can get pretty much any bike you want, I think they use Leasure Lakes , Alpine bikes and a few others so they never get their grubby little paws on them. They don’t cost anymore through Halford than buying them direct.
