Best bike for a beginner?

theoallen

Hey everyone,

I am new to cycling and wish to purchase a new bike, and am a bit unsure as to what to get. As i will be buyig it through a cycle to work scheme it has to be from halfords.
I have narrowed it down to a few bikes that I like the sound of, and i was wondering if anyone could give me any advice or any idea if they would be right for me?

The bikes are:

The Voodoo Hoodoo one is the one im least likely to get due to price, but if the other 2 really are rubbish i may have to part with a bit more cash than expected.

Thank you!

The voodoo is available in more than just 16", the link posted is just to the 16" size though. Personally I'd be going for the voodoo from those or if you can afford a little more, one of the boardman bikes.

I want to use it for basic off road riding, with the potential to move up to a bit more hardcore mountain biking!


I'm ipening up my options a little, any other suggestions?!

Thanks!
