Green commute are nice and simple to work with from an employee and employer point of view.psvrichard wrote: ↑14 Jul 2022, 12:32pm Thanks for all the replies. Not sorted yet but in about 30 mins I have a zoom call with the Green Commute people. Looks like we've got the green light from the business owner so happy days. Definitely agree with the mudguards comments and probably a rack too. The weird thing about me is that I seem to cycle faster on Strava segments with my work bag on my back than when I have nothing with me! It's very odd and not even an uphill vs downhill thing. I do 90% of rides with luggage on back but don't seem to speed up that much without luggage. Think it's psychological from when I used to do paperrounds as a boy!
Something you have not mentioned is your at work storage solution. Is it secure enough for a £1k bike. I do 70% + of my commutes on my brompton, it probably takes 10 mins longer max over the 15km than on my adventure bike, but I don't have to go out to the shed at home and I don't have to go to the bike store at work so I make that time up.
I can keep it under my desk so no worries about theft.
