Hi Everyone,

First of all want to introduce myself. I am a new rider, or shall I say, will be when I purchase my bike.

I am going to be going through the cycle to work scheme in the coming weeks, full prepped on the process, savings etc but having a little difficulty with choosing the bike.

Background

Planning to start commuting into work with a 10 mile route there and back around 3 x per week initially.

Short guy 5ft 5, and looking for a bike to be able go off road and on the road.

During the weekends the plan (weather permitting) is to head up to the coast on mainly cycle tracks with a little road cycling.

interest

I have looked over the differences in cycles but to be honest I don't know a great deal, fully committed to this and can't wait to get started

advice and bike suggestions via shops and searches
Few bikes I like, I am looking for ideally a road/cyclecross bike as I want something light weight, something I can go fast on and be able to go off road if the route takes me that way.

Probably should mention my budget is under 700 but ideally I would like something between 400-500 but all depends on what people would recommend.

Here good things on board mans etc
