Hi all,
After a couple of opportunities to get on a bike in the last few months (after not having been on one for around 10 years) I’ve found myself wanting to buy a bike and start cycling a bit more. I’ll initially be using it on cycle paths/around park trails with the hope of working up to commuting from work, to eventually commuting to and from work ( approx. 7 miles each way, largely cycle paths).
I’m looking at two bikes currently – one Pendleton from the dreaded Halfords and a Dawes from Evans – and I would really appreciate any thoughts you all have on which one would be better to go for.

Any other recommendations in the sub-£200 category are welcome. I know this isn’t much to pay but I would rather avoid paying a large sum of money to find out that the cycling enjoyment doesn’t transfer from holidays to home.
Thanks all for any help!
