Hey people,
I want to get myself a bike to cycle in to work Mon-Fri, only about 2 miles each way, but I'm stuck whether to look into a hybrid or a road bike. The one reason I don't fancy a road bike is I think I'll look a bit daft on one and whether or not they're going to be comfortable for someone my size? I'm 6ft4 and a big built 21stone, I want to cycle as part of a new lifestyle to lose weight.
The benefit I see with a hybrid is the fact that they can have front suspension with lock outs for road riding as well as tyres which can be used on light trails without too many problems.
I have a budget of around £500 and was looking at the Scott Sportster range. What would you recommend for someone of my build and with my requirements?
Thanks,
Jonny
