Hi, my father who is 51 is wanting to buy a bike for some exercise.

I told him to look at hybrids (being more comfortable than pure road bikes)

So im looking for a budget hybrid (new or used) that is comfortable and has a high handle bar (or slightly swept back) to help the comfort level as he doesn't want to be leaning over too far.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

    I'm 43 and find the Boardman hybrid comp to be perfectly comfortable, as well as being an excellent bike (for the money) with decent disk brakes.

    You could always get a used one on ebay - I've seen them going for about £350, some of them with <20 miles usage, as they are quite popular due to the cycle to work scheme, which some people find is harder work than they thought :lol:
