Evening all,

Firstly I'm a 32 year old unfit bloke that weighs in at a staggering 140kg :shock: who is after a suitable bike for my current needs!

I'm going to be using the bike for the daily commute (12 mile round trip), general rides on my days off to help me lose weight & build up fitness. Also we do quite a bit of camping around the lake & peak districts so would like to take it with me on these trips to explore :)

After having a read up about all the different bikes I have come to the decision that a touring bike would quite possibly be my best option, purely due to it sounds like a bike that will fulfill my needs & are built of sterner stuff for someone of my current weight.

I do have the option of C2W via Halfords or Evans but I'm open to other shops if they offer 0% finance with a budget of £1000-£1500.

So really I'm asking if I'm going down the correct route of which bike to buy & if so which ones are the best on the market at the moment for my budget.
