Hi everyone, please forgive me in advance for any nonsense I may come out with. I am a complete novice to cycling and new to actually having a need for a bicycle other than for fun. Me and my partner have basically decided to downgrade to 1 car and as part of that i'm going to commute to and from work which is a 8 mile round trip. It's relatively all road and flat so nothing to challenging. I have a budget of £500 but I can go over if its beneficial to. I've got a few bikes in mind that i've seen essentially chosen because they are in a sale. I'll list them below with the one i was going to choose aswell. The reason i have chose a hybrid bike is just because i might use it on a weekend for something else aswell depending on if i really enjoy cycling or not.
Trek FX 1 ST £375.00 ( This was my choice just based on price ofcourse)
Trek FX 1 Hybrid Bike £419.00
Trek FX 2 Disc Hybrid Bike £489.00
Pinnacle Neon 1 Hybrid Bike £519
Cannondale CX 3 Hybrid Bike £549
I've gone over budget on some just based on their discounts aswell but these gernally the choices i have right now but i'm completely open to anything else that's going suit me alot better for my commute and just generally be alot better long term.
