Hello!
I am getting quite into my cycling so want a bike that is reliable, good for commuting a few miles per day, fun to ride 20-40 miles per week around town and maybe have the potential to do a Sportive. Any advise would be much appreciated as I am off to make my purchase this weekend and hope to get the best for my money.
I think I will go for a hybrid but most of my riding will be on the road and think the main decision to make comes down to the forks and brakes, for example should I prioritise a lock-out fork on a hybrid or should I be after disc brakes? Is there much to worry about with gears and should I look for anything else - or avoid anything!
Any pointers would be much appreciated
Thank you!
