If your not actually planning on doing mountain biking then go for hybrid, its got the riding position of a mountain bike and the stifness, while its geared for the road and has larger wheels giving you the best of both
actually got a new racer meself on this scheme, should be collecting today or tomorrow |

Yeah looking at the hybrid bike alright - coming into this section for advice is really bad idea

Halfords have a class range of bikes.
If youre going to be on the roads mainly, a few things:
- Hybrid bike probably best (mountain bike style & comfort but skinny tyres for better speed)
- Dont bother with suspension (if youre not using it off-road then suspension just slows you down).
- Are the handle bars adjustable i.e. move up and down (some are locked in position and nothing worse than not been able to change it if youre not comfortable)

If you are using the scheme go big and get good value.
Specialised elite is a great bike. Hybrid will do you. Spend at least 600 euros and you will get half of that back (well depending what tax bracket you are in |

Go to bike shop and spec up a bike and all the accessories for up to €1000 bring the quote to work and they will write you a cheque for the bike.
The money will then come off your tax or something!
