The Carrera Subway gets good reviews and would save you some money.
Seconded.
By someone who has one in ‘the fleet’.
Gets fab reviews for good reason and rides really well at a price that belies its solidity. Mine lives amongst bikes many-many times the cost of the Carrera - and I still truly enjoy riding it. In truth mine has actually only been in my ownership a month or two:
And goes everywhere inc some reasonably off-road paths / tracks / trails as you can see.
Infact for further clarity - this NEW Carrera Subway was only purchased to replace an outgoing 10-12 year old: Carrera Subway 🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy your cycling whatever you purchase 👍
