    My advice - save your bike to work scheme and buy second hand. There is great value in the second hand market at the moment.

    Then use your bike to work scheme in a years time when you realise that you want a better bike, road or hybrid, and are more informed.

    Search, for example, for Giant Rapid on DoneDeal/Adverts, id be amazed if you couldn't pick up something very decent for euro350

    There's plenty of value to be had second hand if you think you might end up getting a road bike of higher value.

    You hear this story a lot

    "New road bike on order & i need to move this one on :("

    Nice bike but probably a bit small I'd say someone will get it for around €300
