Can someone recommend a bike please.

Hi. I am looking at getting a hybrid bike for fitness. I am looking at the
Carrera Subway 2
Carrera Crossfire 2
Voodoo Marasa
They're all pretty much the same price.
I'm limited to halfords as I need to use their 0% Apr direct debit deal.
Thanks for your help.

what do you intend using the bike for?

Road cycling to get fit and lose weight

Forget the one with the suspension forks so.

Can you get the Bike-to-Work deal, which will get you a bike for half price if you pay enough tax, and with a good chunk off in any case?

This would mean you could take your time and maybe buy in a shop run by cyclists who could advise you on fit and the best bike for your purposes.

No I can't use the cycle to work scheme

Ah, what a pity. In that case, grab the deal.

Get a road bike rather than a hybrid. Perhaps one of the Boardman range.

given the OP's list of bikes above, the boardman range may be out of budget. but they have two carrera road bikes under €400:
http://www.halfords.ie/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/carrera-zelos-mens-road-bike - €297
http://www.halfords.ie/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/carrera-virtuoso-road-bike - €395

and one for €405.
mcauleyr - don't forget to budget for accessories too.
