Leisure/hybrid kinda bike for around £100, or £150 at a pu

Hello peeps,

trying to help a friend get her first bike

She does not want it for commuting, just for leisure, and to go and see family members etc etc.

I expect she needs a fairly simple hybrid, that she can fit mudguards and possibly a rack too.

I have managed to push her budget upto £150, if the bike is superb, so can anyone start me off with some links?

I had a quick look at Argos, as I remember a thread a while back extolling the virtues/value of a bike on there, but I can't find it now.
Halfords do not seem to have much besides an apollo.

Am I best to go second hand?

I'm thinking something like a second hand Carrera subway one or two would probably be the most sensible choice?
Or a Carrera gryphon perhaps.

Cheers

Dan

The subway is a good if basic machine - and secondhand should be easily found in your price bracket.
