budget all year round bikes?

very new to cycling, not even bought my first bike yet lol
bascially i want to try and find a bike for around 400 quid. obviously i know i might need to change the tyres for different weather conditions.
can anyone recommend a bike then?
like i said im a total beginner, and just want a road bike to get into shape maybe to do around 10 miles a night once i get into it.
any help will be appreciated
thanks

let us know where you are planning to ride... will you commute or evenings / weekends?
for a starter, look at the focus bikes on wiggle, and also the audax bikes on Ribble cycles you may be able to get for your budget... also edinburgh coop have good deals, there is a shop in manchester (I'm assuming you live in manchester somewhere from your name..)
I would also reccomend going round bike shops and asking for a try ride to see what you like and what fits you

and yeah im in manchester not too sure where id be riding, weve got dasiy nook near us or i have friends that live up in mossley that ride also so if i can get my bike up there there a fair few routes around there.
my best friend used to cycle when he was younger and was quality but since he gave it up he wont touch a bike because he knows what a mistake it was so its useless trying to get him to come out with me but maybe he could help plan some routes?
