What bike for a noob
Discussion
Hi All.
Complete bike noob here so be gentle.
I have a ~6 mile commute and I'd like to start cycling in. Work has bike & gear storage which is also a big plus.
I could commute entirely by road, but likewise I could also use canal paths for quite a bit of the journey.
I've no idea what bike to get. My budget isn't enormous, and I'm leaning towards buying a cheap used bike off of eBay etc however I've no idea what I should be looking for (Suspension, geared, fixed-speed, handlebar style etc).
I guess I could do with a sort of middle-ground bike, in that I can use either canals or stick to the roads.
For such a short commute I can't imagine I need something all too amazing.
Cheers!
Luke
