Hi all,
New to cycing, not ridden since my Raleigh Record Sprint 25 years ago...
But I've decided to do it this year and take on the Oxford to Cambridge in October with some colleagues (gulp!) and I want to know if a £300-£350 Halfords bike will be good enough? (R2W scheme ties me to Halfords)
We are looking at averaging 15-16mph, nothing more.
I was thinking of getting the Carrera Gryphon (£350), as people were saying it was decent for fitness, but then I saw the Carrera Virtuoso (£330) and thought a road bike might be better?
Whilst training I won't be riding trails, just cycle paths and roads.
So could anyone tell me if a hybrid would be ok, or if I should get myself a road bike again?
Thanks in advance!
