    Hello - need help with a decision

    That's a shame you don't have a bike scheme. Not sure I can really afford it without it. Do you have any Scottish distributers at all?

    The Rapide looks really really good. Would an ex-demo still qualify for the cycle to work schemes? I couldn't see an ex-demo bit on the website - would I just need to ring up?
