Pharrel has one of the best lives in the world, makes music for a living and gets the opportunity to invest and get involved in every bit of hype going in the world. Except the Large Hardon Collider, that is, but I presume that's a collaboration waiting to happen.

matches with the walls and slop bucket in your cell. Other inmates must get jealous when you take it round the excersise yard.

I want a bike. I know nothing about them.
I'm only going to use it to cycle around 4/5 miles a day. My only preference is something that looks cool and is completely black or completely white. Cheaper the better.
Any suggestions?

bad idea for riding 4/5 miles yes. gearing is normally stupid so have to pedal a bit then cruise then pedal.
depends on the style your going for bmx probably up your street but can look a bit "juvenile".

You on a BMX will look like a normal-sized person on a mountain bike
I was considering treating myself to this if my bike didn't turn up - take the stickers off and you have an all-black bike

depends on what you want. I used to do most of my own work with exception to my bottom bracket. The last time I paid was around £50 for a re-grease on the b/b with bearings, and had all the cables changed (4+ years ago though). You would be best off buying some spray lube, a few tools and learning how to service them yourself.

just want to get the brake pads replaced and adjusted, or may just ask them to fit disks if possible. Chain needs to be re-greased. But if you paid 50 then i should prob need to set aside 200 for worst case

Just acquired £500 to spend with cycle to work scheme, any ideas? I was thinking of an '08 Kona Cinder Cone,
that's the sort of thing I am after, or that a decent road (racer) bike and I will get a mountain bike 2nd hand.
How does it work? Do Halfords basically buy it on your behalf from somewhere and then take a cut/get a rebate?

no your work buy it for you and u pay it back on a monthly basis. it works out at 40% off as the government write off the tax on it.
surely u should have read the small print before steaming in with a £500 scheme? seeming as you could end up paying the full £500 back.
