How do you get the cheap megabus prices?
It's says from £1 with a 50p booking charge. I can't seem to get anything like that. How can you get hose prices, or even double that I wouldn't mind. But my prices when I search are en or twenty times those advertised prices

Something better than a cycling bell.
I have a basic bell on my bike which is probably worth about £2. It's a bit lame really.
