Missus has the go ahead to get her bike...she knows what she wants and we just need to go and try a couple for size.

However, she been told she has to get it from Halfords or Wheelies.com.

I want to buy it from my new LBS because well they're cool, they have the bike and they do C2W.

I know they'd let her ride the bikes then buy elsewhere but that's not the point.

Can a work actually enforce the rule you *have* to buy from xyz sounds barmy to me?
