Commuting bike buying help

LiisaAnna

Hello,

I'm after a bike for a daily commute in London.
I have been cycling on single speed so far but it isn't always as fast I would like it to be.
And also it's old and I would like to have a new bike.
I don't think I will need anything fancy, something comfortable and flat bar.
I was thinking Cannondale Quick fix 6 2015: http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cannondale-Quick-6-2015-Hybrid-Sports-Bike_73545.htm Do you think that would be ok?

I also need to carry it to the second floor at home and at work (not sure how much it weighs)
Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

The Rookie

Not a bad choice, but rather lardy (about 14.5kg)

This is much lighter (about 3.5Kg lighter) and blinding value at this price (similar to the 'dale)

I've got the Quick 1 - would thoroughly recommend it

Wow, I had no idea that it is so heavy!
Sounds like a Boris Bike

Thanks for the tip!

Maybe I should get a bit higher number than a 6 then too...
