Paying for the bike maintenance plan is a waste of money and time. The only real benefit is to get a puncture repair, but this is the one thing that can be done by most people at home, so unless you live next door to a store, would you really bother taking your bike there. You still get charged for wheel changes etc and the discounts only apply to accessories, which is general can be found cheaper else where. To me it seems as though they push they idea as a form of guarantee they can keep you on the road at minimal inconvenience, but in truth, it is purely to try and make you reliable on going back to Halfords for repairs etc, when it will probably be more inconvenient and costly. Please be aware before agreeing to this extra cost.
