Hi all, have hardly any motivation for the gym at the minute, so going halfs with the missus to get a bike, something around sixty each? any recommendations? brands to stick clear of etc.

Considering this

At that price range i'd avoid ANYTHING new, you just won't be able to buy anything that'll last/be remotely pleasant to use. Look into the second hand market, there's some really quite fantastic deals. Hopefully people more knowledgeable than me will be able to recommend specific brands.

[EDIT] Ow, i thought you meant proper bike for exercising on since i thought you mentioned Halfords (Halfs - yes i know, i'm a moron) D:. I still reckon the second hand market would likely be better, but i know nothing about exercise bikes so could be completely wrong.

If you dont have motivation to go to the gym what makes you think you'll have motivation to use an exercise bike?
I usually find that its easier to motivate yourself at the gym because if you make the effort to go, you can leave again after 5 mins.

Not quite sure what you're trying to say there. If you must get an exercise bike, go second hand, like Streeteh said.
Something like this or this
