Hi all,
I have my eyes set on the Cannondale Bad Boy 700
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cannondale/bad-boy-700-2009-hybrid-bike-ec016536
This will mainly be used for a commute from East to West London, every day (around 8 miles each way). I've never commuted on a bike before and am expecting it to be a challenge.
This bike was recommended to me by a bit of a know-it-all friend, but since reading some posts on here saying road bikes are faster, should I be considering a straight road bike ? Would there really be a speed difference (and hence shorten my overall commute time)? And if so - which would be good, for my needs, in the same kind of price category (700£)?
Thanks in advance!
