I've not cycled anywhere for about 20 years but would like to start cycling to work for the health benefits it may bestow in my mid 40's.
I'm not interested in anything fancy or expensive. Commute is about 3.5 miles.
I have no idea of what brands are considered decent/reliable any more but saw this.

Don't really want to spend anymore than that, but is there anything else I should be looking at?

Some of the Decathlon commuter bikes look good value. This example has mudguards & rack, which would add around 50 to the price of the Evans bike & are pretty essential for short commute..
Thanks for that smile
