First bike for many years.

Greetings from a complete newbie to cycling (I was a child the last time I cycled...Quite a few years ago).

I am considering getting a new bike from my LBS. Reasons are, to keep fit, occassional trip fishing and avoiding heavy traffic.

The bike I am interested in is the
Claud Butler Urban 300 Gents - 2009

I would be grateful for an constructive advice from all you knowledgeable people.

Cheers.

Get a sturdy hybrid, what is your budget btw?

Thanks for the reply...

Budget £300 to £400.

What are the advantages of a Hybrid over an Urban bike?

Try googling the name of the bike and add "review" onto the search phrase will get you sites like this onehttp://www.roadcyclinguk.com/review...rod/Claud-Butler-Urban-300/RCN/0/rgn//sp//v/1

The terms hybrid and urban can be almost identical with some brands. They are a cross between a MTB and a road bike with some swaying towards road and vise-versa.
