Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to cycling, but had a loan bike for the past month and really enjoyed using it as my main mode of transport. Now I'm looking to buy my own hybrid bike.
I do about 8-10 miles a day, on roads, cycle paths and canal towpaths.
I'm quite short (5 foot 2) but like going relatively fast, so something sportier and not too heavy would be good.
Lastly, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on this. 400 is about the max I can part with for the bike itself (considering I'll still need to get locks, helmet, etc.).
I'm not sure whether it smarter to go for a cheaper new bike or a second-hand one? Anyway, any recommendations would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
