A Saving of £80.

I would then cycle (or walk sometimes) to work and the scheme costs £45 a year. I would break even after 2 weeks!
Until you get to to your zone docking station and there are no bikes there. Or when you get to your work all the docking stations are full.

Personally I wouldn't rely on anyhting as important as getting to work on time on the bike scheme.

If you want to do something like that, i'd see if there is anywhere in Zone 2 you can store your bike safely and just buy one.
