  Im not sure what the rules for the bike to work scheme are... if your allowed building your own bike is probably the most cost effective way... look for a 'nearly new' second hand frame and you can go pretty high end if your patient... I got a 6mnth old s-works tarmac for £650... barely a scratch (from one of those city types). If not allowed think using the ribble bike builder is the way to go. Their frames are pretty good for the price.

  Also recommend shimano ultegra spec wheelset for best bang for your buck.

  I think the bad rep the dynamo gets is a bit unfair. Its probably less friendly just because its bigger so not everyone knows each other. sat morning ride can be grumpy... but these are often the city boy... all the kit ride like shit/all the gear no idea types. If anything the fast guys and old hands are the most friendly. I dont have the legs for the 1sts but 2nds pretty cool and amiable... the lower down you go tho it seems the more likely you are to get shouted at by some grumpy kn*b with a team discovery jersey on over his fat belly.. whilst on a pair of tubular zipps

  When I first started training I was completely out of my depth and hit the bonk bad on a hills ride. The guys I was riding with were really friendly... actually taking it in turns to push me rather than drop me. It was touching/humiliating

  Why not? Chances are that he would see it as a perfectly normal greeting. Try to watch out for signs from him that it makes him uncomfortable and if you don't see any, he probably doesn't see anything wrong with being touched in greeting in this way. It can often be the awkwardness of people who feel apprehensive about physical disabilities that is more inappropriate. A greeting can bridge a divide between us, there's a reason why such gestures exist, and they don't necessarily change just because someone has a visible physical disability. Disabled people are still people who understand life in much the same way that we all do.

  I agree but what if he doesnt have a right hand?
