    I have started cycling to work using my old 14 yr old mountain bike called a falcon made in England,
    I want to treat myself to a nice mountain bike for going to work and I also want to do more cycling in general,
    I have no idea what a good bike is, would consider a good 2nd hand or buy from England,
    any ideas

    Don't buy a mountain bike if you're mostly going to use it for cycling to work, only get a mountain bike if you actually plan on mountain biking.

    Don't have any personal experience with halfords but from reports on here I haven't heard anything bad about the carrera subway and it's supposed to be a very good spec for the price, just make sure they build it properly and that it's the right size because apparently some of the lads in halfords haven't a clue.
