I've just had an operation on my knee and have been told that by my consultant that I should be sticking to cycling and swimming as my exercise from now on. Neither are particularly my favourite pastimes but I think I have to accept my footballing days are over. This latest op makes it 8 in 8 years so I reckon it's time to listen. :(
Whilst I'm a rubbish swimmer, I can use the pool at my local gym so I'm not too concerned about that. The issue I have is that I don't own a bike, I never have and I have minimal knowledge as to the type of bike I should get, what is good and what is bad. That's where I'm hoping you guys will come in!
I've done a bit of research and have come to the conclusion that a hybrid or a hardtail would probably be the most suitable for me. The majority of my cycling will be road based but I'd like to have the option to go off-road as well.
Is there any recommendations on a particular bike that I should be looking at. My budget is relatively low at about £300 but I have health insurance with Vitality and one of their benefits is 50% off bikes at Evans Cycles so that should help me get something sufficient for a novice like me.
All advice is gratefully received.
