If you don’t already have a decent bicycle, consider a second hand one from Gumtree or Cycling Weekly online.
Minimise the starting costs in this respect, but make sure you have everything you need to service your bike yourself and keep things in good order. After all, the aim is to use the bike daily, in order to maximise your value to a potential advertiser.
It can be very worthwhile to ask a bike repair shop or someone similar for some hints and tips to make sure you pick the best possible bike for you and one that you can maintain well.
