Hi,
I currently have a 8yr old cheap Apollo mountain bike which is quiet heavy. I'm looking at getting a new hybrid bike for road cycling 20-30km on weekends and also need something when causally going on trails and in the woods with the kids. The bike will not be used in winter or when raining. Budget around £400-700. Looking for flat bars and without suspension. Also something which is low maintenance and reliable as I'm not much of a DIY'er!
I've narrowed (sort of) down to the following:
