Your company might have a cycle to work scheme which is a great way to do it - the payments come out before tax. My old agency had it set up with Evans who have loads of shops around London.
I'd stay away from second hand as it could always be nicked, plus you have no warranty and the bike is likely to be set up for someone of a different size.
- cheers, jsut been looking into the cycle to work scheme and have mailed my boss :DStugoo

they have a sale on...
http://www.evanscycles.com/i go to these guys (based in hackney), nice little independent shop
http://www.londonfieldscycles.co…and yeah, listen to zr - getting a new bike on the ride to scheme is a great way to buy a bike. i did it myself and am basically paying almost half price for a decent bike.

If you are of low moral standing - you could go to the top of Brick Lane on a Sunday morning. Very cheap bikes available.
(It's probably where my old bike ended up).
- there's a place called re-cycle in elephant and castle which is supposed to be cheap too ..********
