Is this one very light with having no front or rear suspension ?

I took my old one for a run out today & used an Iphone app called sportypal coach, it tells u have far you have cycled

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sportypa ... 14295?mt=8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

well worth using for anyone with an Iphone

you will find it light from an MTB
its just a wee bit heavier than my expensive MTB with mid to high end kit
any the frame for that cost as muc as the whole boardman
the boardman has knocked a good 10 minutes off my commute
it also has higher gearing helping(for those interested) in working those leg muscles harder

I was going to go for this scheme but I'm not keen on the halfords bikes. I was looking at the Leisure Lakes Bikes and found some i like, trouble is there isnt any shops near me. Does anyone know if I could mail order a bike from there through the scheme?

I am on that but for obvious reasons I have not linked it to Facebook or anything else - Image want to keep them guessing a bit longer.
My kids tracked me the other day and came looking for money :arrrghhh :arrrghhh
I use it out on delivery so I've got back up to say I've not been skiving. No doubt you've seen on mine i'm not up to a constant 4mph :angel
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Nor am I - with the stop starting getting refills etc I average between 1.9 and 2.1 - highest speed is usually around 3.8 or 3.9

Looks like Evans and Lakeside will take the voucher. Has anybody had any luck with any other chains/websites?
