Sorry!

I'm looking to get a bike to commute from the edge of town to work - this is just a gravel path (and also to go and enjoy the local country cycling paths) obviously there will be a few roads now and again.

A few people have recommended hybrids. I know next to nothing about bikes though.

Do you guys have recommendations, deals, etc. and can point me in the right direction? I'm hopefully going to get into it and would like a bike that will last a good while.

Many thanks!

Not too bad. Just like a canal tow path. I will be doing more 'off-road' ish stuff at the weekends - though they will be country bike routes.

Commuting is about 4 miles each way - so it's not that far.

I'm probably now thinking that I should be more looking into the weekend rather than the weekday as I could, theoretically, park closer and then ride less into work.

Also just thought about it - any recommendations on a car bike carrier (Yaris if that helps).

Aye true - it was more to help with getting the right bike for the weekends. I think getting the bike for the weekend (whereby I'll be wandering around the country side bike routes than anything else) is probably a better idea.

Thanks for the mount recommendations - it'll probably be two bikes so that sounds good to me. Was it easy to fit?

Any bike recommendations for weekend jaunts?

Thanks - voodoo hoodo? I don't suppose you have a link? Sounds epic! I'll have a look at the other bikes as well - many thanks for the links!

Thanks guys. I'll have a look now and keep an eye out for deals! :)

Been about 15 years since I bought a bike - the choices have gone up slightly!
