Opinion on hybrid bike?

Looks like a bike from Amazon or somewhere. Terrible reputation, cheap parts, poorly assembled and would likely be pretty uncomfortable even if it did somehow stay in one piece. Even if it was free I wouldn't really recommend riding it. This is a much better deal:

You say both your girlfriend and you will be riding it, how tall are you both?

Were both 173-175cm
 
Permbanned, I also work Deliveroo on weekends, and my road bike, is too light imo, and Ive got 2x punctures from having the box on the back. So Id though to get a decent hybrid, that I can use for that+ gf can use whilst I use my road bike for regular cycles together
 
Convenient. It could be doable them, although women generally have longer legs and a shorter torso for some height. You'll almost certainly have to change the saddle height between each ride, so it might be worth getting a quick release seat clamp.

What do you think of that Verenti? I could run through the better specs it has.. but it would literally be the entire spec sheet.

Oh really? I just heard about them the other day, was toying with the idea of applying. How is it?

The gumtree bike looks like it just has 23c road tyres anyway, the Verenti comes with 35c tyres which are much better for comfort, off roading and carrying loads, and it likely has clearance for wider if you need them.

They're pretty good, and flexible, and generally can request more hours the more you work. I get about £10/hour..to cycle..no disadvantages :P
