Hello,
I'm new to this forum as i'm joining the cycle to work scheme through work, but don't have a clue where to start in terms of getting a bike (i haven't had a bike since i was about 12, a good 17 years ago)
I'm looking for a bike where i will be doing 10 miles of cycling per day but there is also a train journey involved. On looking at the train there seems to be always room for bikes so doesn't necessarily have to be a "fold-up" one. From what i gather the scheme limits me to halfords which I can see on here has mixed feedback (i'd be using either Preston or Lancaster stores if anyone has any experience of those stores)
I'm 6 foot 2 and i'd say average weight if that has any baring on what bike to go for (my top end budget is £500). I've seen there is a sale on carrera bikes are these any good?
Thanks in advance for your help
