Cycling to work, Dishonest pension schemes, Lodgers

Consumer affairs, with a look at a pension scheme which was ruled illegitimate and dishonest by a judge, sharing a home with a stranger and persuading people to use a bike.

We report on an investment scheme described by a high court judge as "illegitimate". Hundreds of people were persuaded to transfer their pension funds on the promise of guaranteed high returns.

More people are taking in lodgers to supplement their income, but what are the pros and cons of sharing your home with strangers?

One year on from the launch of its loyalty card system, Match and More, Morrisons is dropping the "match" bit of the deal. Dropping that element of the scheme is significant because Morrisons was the only one of the big supermarkets to price-match the discounters Aldi and Lidl. So why ditch it now?

The biggest ever survey into attitudes to cycling in the UK. What would persuade you to get on your bike?

And a warning to beware of cold callers offering what sound like fantastic investment opportunities in parking spaces near airports.

Producer: Cecile Wright
