Commute for less: Top five commuting bike picks under £1000 at Tredz

Inflation has hit the cycle industry perhaps as hard as any sector over the last few years. It’s been difficult for bike manufacturers to source bikes and components and there have often been significant price increases when they have been available.

But despite the gloomy financial news, you can still buy a wide range of bikes from Tredz for under £1,000 that are ideal for the commute, with over 150 flat bar hybrid bike models from over 15 brands available immediately. Tredz also sells nearly new bikes, so you might find a bargain on a commuter in your size.

Tredz has some great finance deals too, allowing you to spread the cost of your purchase, including zero per cent interest deals or the option to spread your payments over up to 48 months. Headline figures include a Specialized Sirrus hybrid bike with finance from just £1.16 a day over 12 months, while you can get your hands on a Brompton folding bike from just £2.18 a day spread over 18 months. 

You can save even more by using Tredz’s Cycle To Work options, using salary sacrifice to reduce your tax and National Insurance payments. Depending on your tax band, there are savings of between 33 and 43 per cent on the cost of your bike and any other equipment you need. There’s no longer a £1,000 upper limit on the amount you can spend under the scheme. Tredz lays out the whole process really clearly on its Cycle To Work page.
