hello im new to all this bike stuff, i want to buy a bike but i cant decide what i want.

whats the difference between a urban and road bike ?

does anyone have any good suggestions to a cheap/good road bike?

Roadbikes usually have dropped bars and urban bikes flat bars...that said you can get roadbikes with flatbars and vice versa!

How cheap is cheap...very cheap is usually not very good

What do you want to use the bike for?

 

[Bealz998]

i would use it for a 5 min ride to work and i would use it for a random ride somewhere on a sunday

5 minutes?!

the Carrara tdf at halfords seemed a good buy at 249. think its going up but worth a look.
