Whether you\u2019re a fresher or a sophomore, you\u2019ll be looking to save money this autumn. Here\u2019s how to arrive at your lecture in style \u2013 without breaking the bank.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charge Plug 0 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now is the perfect time to get a fresh-off-the-production line bike \u2013 as big retailers look to clear their stock of 2017 models in time for the new year. At the time of writing, Evans Cycles are selling this beauty<\/a> with 11% off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Low gearing with an agile frame, this bike is comfortable but nippy when you want to be. Buying from Evans you\u2019ll get an excellent after sale care including a free 6-week cable tuning – but the single gear will reduce the cost of future maintenance and, frankly, this bike looks pretty good.<\/p>\n

Apollo Twilight<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is a heavy bike in comparison to big name brands – but if you\u2019re a lady looking for a workout, the obscenely low price-tag means you can forgive that one minor detail. For just \u00a399<\/a> you get a lot of bang for your buck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest model gives you 18 grifter gears \u2013 enough to find a comfy gear going up a hill.\u00a0 You also get to enjoy low maintenance v-brakes, resilient steel frame, and even front suspension. My only gripe is the saddle is a tad too cushiony \u2013 but other than that, this bike will last you a good few years of trails and commutes.<\/p>\n

B\u2019Twin Rockrider 520s 27.5\u201d Mountain Bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This beast<\/a> offers you oh-so-much for just \u00a3369. Full suspension, including a rear hydraulic shock absorber with spring and adjustment. Forget arguments over whether 27.5\u201d standard is dead \u2013 Decathlon are too big to go bust and will continue selling parts for a long time yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You get an SRAM drive chain with Microshift MS22 front derailleur, TEKTRO aluminium brake levers, and disc braking. At this point B\u2019Twin are show boating. B\u2019Twin is no longer a budget joke because they\u2019re delivering high specification bikes at a student friendly prices.<\/p>\n

B\u2019Twin Triban 500 SE Road Bike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your journey between your halls and the library is tarmac all the way, this slick whip<\/a> will get you there quicker than anything else, and with less effort \u2013 for lower than \u00a3300.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Microshift Groupset and Shimano cranks give you 24-speed gearing with paddle gear shifts like you get in a Formula 1 car \u2013 no wonder this is an award-winning bike. Again, Decathlon offer cheaper as well as more expensive bikes, and they\u2019re all well built for the price.<\/p>\n

Haro Leucadia BMX Bike 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s simple. It\u2019s small. It\u2019s 25 % off at the time of writing, and for \u00a3224.99 you can have a lot of fun on a BMX. Whether you\u2019re hopping through traffic, pulling tricks at the park, the Leucadia<\/a> will turn heads without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think the green looks beautiful, but my younger self would definitely have got this in white, and kept it pristine. Be warned \u2013 BMX life is addictive, and the temptation to upgrade components may be too much for your purse strings in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
