    Some bike manufacturers release the following year's models in September, so worth asking for current year ones, providing they are suitable and the new models are not a vast improvement.

    Also worth using sites like pricerunner and pricegrabber to see what other cycle shops have.

    Halfords web sale ends tomorrow. Discount on most child bikes. I have found in previous years this is the best time for a discount on a child's bike. You also get a free build and its reserve and collect.
    Me debt free thanks to MSE :T
