    Hello Everybody,

    I've decided to try cycling to college (Ringsend to Belfield) to save a few bob and up my (very low!) level of fitness.

    I've a very tight budget and I'm terrible for having great intentions but not good on carrying through so I don't want to spend a lot of money.

    I'm thinking of the following two bikes and would appreciate any advice from people who are in the know! I know nothing about cycling and the only things I'm really worried about are comfort (the more comfortable I am the more likely I am to actually cycle!) and simplicity!!

    I would be buying this from a bricks and mortar shop (€195) and not from this website.

    http://www.bergoutdoor.com/en/cycles/Product.aspx?pid=724&catalogId=35
    I would be buying this online (depending on p&p).

    I know from reading on here that there is very little difference in bicycles at this level. I suppose I'm more wondering if anybody knows of any reason that I definitely should not buy either of the above!

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brgn Hntr.

    If your on a budget, why not visit rothar.ie? They might have something suitable and would be cheaper. Ringsend to belfield is not too far.
