Ok I'm sorry, I'm new and I'm going to ask an inevitable question, even after reading the newbie sticky. Sorry.
I *think* I want this bike: http://www.probikecycles.com/700CHybridDetailpage.aspx?Bikeid=4
I want to be able to ride on roads, but also tow and cycle paths. I live in a fairly flat part of Manchester and do not anticipate ever trying to climb mountains in anything other than a lift. I don't want anything heavy or chunky, but neither do I want 3894579 gears, drop handles or a shopping basket. I *think* this seems like a reasonable bike to do what I want, but I'd really appreciate some reassurance or a nudge in the right direction.
I don't really want to spend a lot of money either. This one will be around £150 at my LBS (I'm learning the lingo!) which is about as much as I want to part with. In all honesty I have a history of starting exercise-y things and losing interest (Davina DVDs, a yoga mat, a Wii fit), but I really do need to address my fitness and overall health.
