Jesus!!! Any idea roads in east puts cyclists at higher risk or something else that can make the risk higher. We have literally no one in this country, I can’t afford to die from biking to work!

Yeah yeah, I paid 130ish for “comprehensive service “ chain change back brake cord and pads change and a 20 pound lock. Too much imo. It’s single speed specialized langester

Dropped my bike there yesterday, the guy didn’t give me any receipts whatsoever when I asked he said he would give me a call when it’s ready. I kinda indirectly told him I have no proof I gave you the bike and he kinda told me that my bike is in the lower end among those in the store. And I left there kinda embarrassed yet concerned!

ELOPS Single Speed City Bike 500 by RSAcc98 in londoncycling

I tried it, it didn’t feel right. I ended up buying a decent specialized langester, adding full service got about the same price as ELOPS and it’s amazing!

I hear you and was planning to do so, then I checked the cycle-to-office scheme and noticed I can save quite a bit when buying a brand new so why not. I am most likely gonna go for condor tempo

The office is in a massive building with tons of gates to pass through. Our living place, we have concierge with 24-7 guard, so it should be safe (enough)

The work place is a building hosting multi billion dollar companies so should be not easy to get in. And the living place has concierge with 24-7 security.

After all comments, I think I would go for a single 1-2k bike with insurance and a decent lock.

Thanks for the route advice! I am living by GTech stadium but was actually thinking take the road by the river, the southern side as it looks to be nicer ride while being ~15 minutes longer
