    You can buy another bike

    You can buy another bike through the scheme regardless, even in the same year (e.g. a summer bike and a winter bike). See https://www.cycle2work.info/employees/faqs

    Can I get more than one bike?

    Yes! If you would like to get two bikes you certainly can – as long as they are both suitable and safe for you to ride, and your total doesn’t exceed your scheme’s maximum limit.

    I have occasionally seen

    I have occasionally seen people express the view that a bicycle is essentially a child’s toy (much like a space hopper or pogo stick) and that no adult should use one. I don’t think this view is particularly widespread though. There’s no shortage of anger towards Deliveroo cyclists who are clearly cycling for work.

    There was an article a while back on the BBC suggesting that cyclists are perceived as free-loading – not paying road tax, jumping queues, etc.

    It has a metal ring round the top. So you can flatten it, but it’s not like you can stick it in a pocket.

    It’s cheap and it hooks and unhooks easily. Maybe not the best, but good considering the low price.

    It does not seem to have a “click to mark video time” function, so I am I correct I need to develop a good memory for time points in a video?

    If you take a screenshot on your phone (on Android press the power and volume down buttons at the same time) then the screenshot will have a time stamp. So that’s one way to record the time of incidents.

    Got this Decathlon folding

    Got this Decathlon folding bike cheap on eBay. This is now my 5th bike, and probably my last one for a while.

    Planning to use it for situations where I want to drive somewhere then cycle the last few miles – going to a music festival later this year and the park and ride bus is about £30 per day, but there’s free parking 3 miles away from the venue.

    I think it’s four counts because he was found to be over the limit for four different substances – alcohol, cannabinoids, MDMA, and cocaine.
