Looking for a road bike to use for my commute to and from work. It's pretty short, maybe 20 minutes maximum! However I do it every day and my old second hand bike is crumbling... got a puncture today and took it to the bike shop (having been planning on getting it MOT'd in any case, as it feels a bit wobbly!) where they basically implied the sooner I got rid of it, the better, and if I were to fix it I'd be looking at £200+ to replace the most obvious dead bits.
...in which case I may as well get a new bike.
TL;DR I am looking for a commuter bike, nothing special, for around £300
I had a second hand bike because I was worried a new one would be stolen. Going to investigate whether my place of work has secure bicycle parking, but anybody have any recommendations for the best kind of insurance? Do they insist on secure parking as a condition of getting it insured? I currently leave mine on the street :/
Thanks!
