It might be worth mentioning that a good part of the stain will be the rim itself being worn away. As you brake with either type of pad a small amount of the metal will be taken off the rim which for most rims makes a very fine blackish metal dust(aluminum oxide). Only way to avoid it building up too much and looking unsightly is spending a few minutes each week cleaning it off.
Disc brakes, brakeless, roller brakes, coaster brakes ect ect.

Cycle to work scheme is not a 'hire agreement'
You will have to either return the bike or pay the outstanding amount - and thus loose the income tax benefit of having this taken from your salary.
However as its cyclescheme its not even optional.. the total cost of the bike will just be taken by your employer out of your final salary.
Cyclescheme will also what you to pay 'fair value' for the bike. They work this out very unfairly just based on age.
Why have you started a new thread for this?
http://www.lfgss.com/search.php?searchid=3464491Can you show me where they aren't hire agreements?
Here is more info on the one you mentioned.
http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/get-a-bikeYour hire payments are deducted from your gross monthly salary. At the end of the hire period employees may be given the opportunity to buy the bike for the market value, however this cannot be an automatic entitlement. Many employers opt for Cyclescheme to take ownership of the bikes at the end of the hire term, in which case any offer sale to the employee will come directly from Cyclescheme.

It says:
*Once signed, the Hire Agreement is non-cancellable following a cooling-off period of 14 calendar days following collection/receipt of the equipment. This means that if an employee leaves or is made redundant from their employment during the hire period they are obliged to pay the remaining salary sacrifice amount in full from net pay i.e. without any tax exemptions.
If applicable, the employee may then be offered ownership of the equipment in the normal way (please refer to 'What happens at the end of the hire period?' above).*
So is there a chance I'll be asked to pay the full amount, but not be let keep the bike??
You will end up paying the full "hire period" cost, that's going to happen either way so if you agreed to hire it for 1 year and are 8 months in then expect to pay 4 months.
If you look in that *'What happens at the end of the hire period?' *then working out any charges for buying the bike earlier could make it more expensive(depends on what your work do), most I looked into they had to charge 20-25% of the bikes value at the end of the 1st year and then it went down each year to nothing on the 4th or so year.
Most people do the 1st year as paid hire and then 2nd and 3rd as extended use/free hire and then get the bike for nothing as it's devalued and can be written off.

Will likely join at brixton as cba waking up that early.

-
If I wake up at an ok hour will be riding to IKEA. Not a to shabby route as I know where to turn in/out to follow the tramline side path. Apart from that could be rather dull and slow as I think mtb as I need the pannier rack and junk.

Been buying wheels recently so a few cardboard boxes spare. Collection only sw2.
-
Didn't realise you are in Newcastle. Man up and swing by a bike shop.
-
Riding the bus for the first time in months is so unusual taking 20min to get down brixton hill. I can't see any class markings on the seats so I have to assume this is 1st class.
-
New spinny parts.
-
Wheels arrived, don't want the boxes hanging around for weeks.

Fetch me the ladder, I'd like to climb off my high horse please.
Why are you making a horse smoke weed? Why?

Spacers gonna space
Doubled the bikes value with spacers tho so kinda win. Just needs some gold adonised parts.

^^^Of course language is important (I'm not going to try and undo the years of hard work by Derrida and Foucoult), but they question is worth asking: are we accused of being second-class by stickers on a lorry, or by streets that are unfit, laws that don't protect, politicians that don't respond to cycle deaths, and cars that crowd our space? The reality is that we are second class road users and stickers don't make that any more or less real. The stickers could be bright and yellow and say FREE HANDJOBS FOR CYCLISTS but that won't change our rights on the road if say for example the Bricklayers Arms roundabout never gets redesigned.
Small steps, bricklayers arms wasn't built/rebuilt in a day.
-
I am a bit confused by the stickers. Is there a measured danger in drafting such vehicles, as they imply? I suppose an emergency stop could lead to a nasty bump but it doesn't seem like a lethal risk.
It's more about cyclists undertaking(more so at junctions). When all the traffic is stopped some will scoot up the side of a HGV and then the lights change and the HGV makes turn left with a chance they haven't seen the cyclist it can all get messy.
Like a more cycle specific one of these.
Problems I can think of are when they just get plastered on any/all on the road it doesn't signify a difference(so if all cars had long signs on it would make the sign irrelevant).
Your post does nicely sum up how unclear/badly worded the sign is, I'm sure many share in that not knowing.
-
I don't mind the wording so long as the law stays clear that you can coat your van/truck with stickers and they don't absolve you in any way. The use of them to push the blame onto the cyclist is what I'm against which is essentially what the lack of using mirrors has confirmed.
I hope the meeting goes well, I remember seeing somewhere tfl had said "it's too expensive to peel them off" which is a load of cobble when you think of all the regular maintenance work they do on buses adding 2min with a scraper or whatever to the next service or the anti graffiti workers get busy ect.
