Good morning. I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of the right sort of bike for my needs.
I've been a keen cyclist in the past, although I never really researched what I was buying and although I ended up with a decent bike it was more by accident than design.
I've had a good look at the sort of bikes available now and I've come to the conclusion a hybrid would be best for me. My cycling is largely going to be country lane and trail based, most likely with a biased towards the latter. I'd be quite happy to swap and change tyres to get the perfect bike.
I've never owned any bike with suspension before because I've always had the opinion that you don't get suspension worth having at bikes at the lower end of the cost scale. However, it seems to me that it would be nice if I could get a bike with decent front suspension to help on the rougher stuff. I am wary of the extra effort suspension causes you to expend on harder surfaces so is it possible to get suspension that can be locked in place for this sort of money?
