If you cant find the bike you want in Halfords, they can transfer the voucher for use in other shops local to you. Give them your postcode & they give you a list of shops who are part of their scheme..
Not sure if that always apply. My HR department said our company would only allow us to obtain bikes through one supplier (Cycle Solutions).Which is a bit inconvenient when we'd rather deal with local bike shops.

This. Halfords can order in bikes from a list of manufacturers ... my Mrs got a Cube Peleton last Sept/Oct.
See my previous post . Not all manufacturers . Not here to argue, just highlighting that fact!http://www.cycle2work.info/siteadvicecentrebrand#I...

You can use the vouchers at Leisure Lakes with no need to even speak to Halfords unless you really want to.
I'm getting my new bike from them, the only issue is that you can't use it on bikes over £1k and you can't get bikes that are reduced if they cost more than that normally (rrp).
Specialized concept stores also take them.

So you pay more and have less flexibility
Very compelling .
Not if you want a 2015 bike that's under a grand though. Very compelling .
It's crap you can't have a 2014 1.5k bike that's reduced to 900 quid but those are the rules. Plus it removes the need to go to Halfords who won't even let you test ride a bike before you agree to have it (special orders).
Not a mountain bike. Sutton Park is all roads and trails. Canal paths the same. You need something that'll take tyres with a bit of tread but taller, narrower wheels for the road sections.
Something like this for £600 (unless you're hell-bent on spending to the max budget):

My local Halford reckoned they could order any bike I wanted for CTW. Never got chance to test that though.
