Thinking of starting to cycle to work well part of the way from south queensferry to livingston. I need to build my fitness up by doing it the odd day a week to start but if i end up doing it full weeks i am thinking of getting a new bike through the bike to work scheme. My boss has one and although you technically rent the bike from your work for a year then sometimes buy it for an agreed price at the end, my company just give you it so could get the stuff for half the price over all and not be paying tax on it.

The bike i was thinking off getting was this

Any cycling guys know if is any good for comuting or too much? I have a edinburgh bicycle mountain bike thats about 10 years old that i have added road tyres to which will let me get into it before commiting to a new bike but want something that will be better suited and quicker.
