My name is Andy and I've just signed up to the forum.<br /> Sorry if the topic is in the wrong place...</p> <p>As the title says, I am looking to purchase a bike. I've not owned one for over 12 years (my last bike was a Raleigh M-Trax) and having just turned 30, I want to get fit and lead a healthier lifestyle! I will be using it for both commuting to work and for leisure. So would a hybrid one would be best??</p> <p>I like the look of the Carrera Subway 2, currently at halfords at £229 and the Raleigh Grande at £169 looks nice too. Don't really want to spend more than that first off.<br /> I live near Colinton and work at the Royal Infirmary.</p> <p>As I said above, My last one was a Raleigh M-trax mountain bike and I used that for road and off-road cycling.<br /> I've only looked at Halfords so far. I used to live down south so not really clued up on smaller bike shops in the area.<br /> Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and I will appreciate all help offered. </p>
