I guess it's like a cycle2work scheme for people that don't want the bike or maintenance issues, big outlay. I assume they maintain the bikes for you or something?

Yeah I think that's what they're aiming for. But at least with C2W, you own the bike at the end of it all. This is like leasing a car, which I guess is very popular.
The monthly rolling contract might appeal if you were only going to be here for a short time - a foreign worker on a short contract for example.

I've seen a few of these around, but they were single-speed and with a massive fairing on the back wheel.
Would love to know how they've worked out that the package is worth £1,000. Presumably because the bike is so awful, it will require £100s worth of their 'on-demand maintenance'.
The £23.99 per month also only applies if you pay upfront for 12 months. At which point, surely it's just better to go and buy a bike?
