My company is thinking of taking up the cycle2work scheme (in one way or another, not sure who they are doing it with) and seem wholly positive about it - good news or bad news depending on how you look at it. Good news, because I might be able to get a new bike for cheap. Bad news, because I already have 3 bikes and my flat is too small to fit more in. But I didn't realise the agreement said anything about breakfast? What's the deal with that?
Don't know. That's the response I was given. I can't find anything about it on the cyclescheme website. I know my company has 'looked' into it thoroughly though. We have a big, fully stocked kitchen already. Everyone has cereal here, so I can't see their point on that. Wouldn't want a fry-up every day anyway.
Most of the people I work with are 20 years older than me and well into their 2nd marriage and next heart attack. They all have company cars and seem to think I am abnormal for riding to work. I hate paying for the over-priced and totally unacceptable underground service. The few occasions I have used it, I have been late. My garage is full of bikes and bits. With home shopping I have no need of a company car.
