hey guys,

i need your heeeeeelp!..im not really good with bikes, so i have no idea which one to buy....
im hesitating to get a mtb or a city bike...i would mainly use it to go to work and it would be nice to have a comfortable one-so thats why thinking about the city bike....but the problem is that i would have to go 40 kms every day and im not sure a city bike can handle that....no hills or mountains, mostly flat way, but still 40 kms...
unfortunately not high budget...
so what do u suggest? city bike or a mtb(and maybe change the seat to have it more comfortable...?:P)...
thanks a lot in advance!!!

What is the budget?

On roads?

I'm waiting delivery of one of these. For me it's going to be my go to bike when the roads are wet and filthy to try and save wear and tear on my better equipped bikes. My thinking is that the single chainring and simple 8 gear cassette and rear derailleur will be easy and cheap to maintain. Comes with fitted mudguards too. Would make a perfect commuter bike I would think.

Thanks Steve. Just feel it might save money long term. Can pick up an 8 speed cassette and chain for not much more than £20 and no front derailleur to worry about so I think it will be a great run about bike.

well....my budget is like 'lowest possible'....(as the last 6 months i had no job and i just got one...)
i would use it mainly on road, tho would not mind to make some rounds also in forrest or so....
the one i checked is a b'twin mtb for 100 euros(90 pounds)...

Decathlon bikes are generally god value for money. If you only have £90, it's not a bad bet.
