I’m going to see if I could lease one through work instead of playing outright.
If you aren’t already familiar with them, also consider using https://upway.co/. They sell dealer overstock and lightly used bikes at a big discount with a one year warranty. I got my commuter bike through them and it was as convenient as ordering directly from Aventon. It sucks that none of my local bike shops offer 0% APR payment plans, especially for the high-end models where you’re buying reliability. Upway is the only financially viable alternative to renting for me.
