I am going to ring a few friends, see if they have a bike I could borrow, if not I could hire one.
After researching, using Evans Cycles buying guide, I think a Hybrid is the one for me. I could stretch to a £500 budget, if that'd make a big difference.
For me it is scary to spend £500 on a bike, but I suppose I could view it as an investment to a healthier and fitter future!
HJ said:If you are buying a new bike than £500 is about right if you want something which will last. The other option is to get something second hand and try cycling for a few weeks then decide if you want to invest in something better. Try looking for a bike recycling scheme in your area, as these schemes are a good sources of reliable second hand bikes. Hiring a bike is expensive.
But be aware cycling is addictive, then I was first told I should get a bike I was some what sceptical, now I would be without one...
