Bike Recommendation

Folks

I am looking for feedback on which bike you would get. It will be used as my daily about town bike and for short commutes to the train station which is 2km each way. I will use it for a longer spin the odd time aswell up to 10km. All done on roads. I will be getting it on the BTW scheme. I don't need an expensive road bike because I have one already for the longer recreational spins.

Or I could go cheaper and get this but I figured I may aswell get the best bike I need.

I suspect most folk on the cycling forum here don't buy halford bikes , personally for that money i would buy a much better equiped and most likely lighter used bike.

Would definitely look if any used bikes in a shop near you first for the money you have to spend you could get a much better used bike which even for short trips would be better I think . I think most people would say the boardman bikes are the better options in Halfords but as has been said not many on here will buy in Halfords .

Go to decathlon their hybrids are the best for the price something like the triban rc 500 would be perfect for you.

Or go second hand.

For a bike you're leaving at a train station buy the cheapest disposable piece of crap you can, second hand.

Unless you have access to a bike locker at the train station, absolutely this.
