1st adult hybrid 4 family days out?

spidee

Hi there,

Glad I found you guys you seem to know a lot about bikes My daughter has just learnt to ride so we thought we would try doing some family cycles around our area as we've had some cycle paths developed where I live.

Anyways so I'm looking at a hybrid and want to be able to put panniers on it. So far only looked at the Carreras and Apollos in Halfords (as they are on sale!) Carrera was a lovely ride! Also had an offer on a Landrover hybrid for £70 (I didn't even know Landrover made bikes)

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice, especially on maybe picking up a secondhand one? Budget as little as possible but no more than £200.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Spidee

I have had a carrera subway 2 in the past. First bike I started commuting on and in my opinion a good place to start for the money.

My only experience with Apollos was a £100 mountain bike I won. Not the best and very heavy.

There are a lot of variations of the Hybrid out there, the Trek 7 series always seems to get good reviews by owners so may be worth a look as a second hand buy.
