As "brokestatus" mentioned - we are looking at various cycle to work schemes. The main issue with these schemes are the administrators who run them!
Typically we have to pay the administrator 10% of the transaction value - hence we can't provide the full discount to our customers, as our margins are so low - which is a real bummer for us, as it goes against our principles of selling bikes and accessories at Recommended Retail Prices.
We are currently in discussion with these providers to get these costs down - as the 10% is geared towards operating a manual form filling process (yawn). So we have put to them a computerised process which takes out these costs...
I'll keep you posted!
