Christophe' Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi, Im after a second road bike to use purely for work commuting. Its only 4 miles each way , and i just want a road bike that i dont have to worry about getting wet dirty etc It has to be £700 or less due to my works "cyle to work" scheme top limit being £700 and also I realy dont want to spend much more anyway. This seems to be the best otion so far http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Battaglin_Start_2010/5360048607/ Thoughts welcome Ive done a lot of research but just wondered if anyone out there new of anything better for the money? Audax bikes considered. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris If its only 4 mile each way just buy a fixie or a single speed like a charge or something of that ilk and spend the cash on a nice helmet and other riding gear for your good bike, its what Ive done.

Mr Motivator Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I went for a proper ride this eve after work. This road cycling stuff is bloody fantastic, little effort required to keep up about 16-17mph average (and I'm quite unfit at the moment). I also had a bit of a race with a couple kids on mo-peds down hill, there wasn't much in it, they only overtook me at walking pace. I've got a day off work tomorrow so I think I'm going to go for a lonesome ride into the city and maybe pick up some lycra shorts on the way from a lbs. There's just something about jumping on a bike, and off you go. You get there for free, and not exactly that slowly either. Bloody brilliant, I'm so glad I've got one.
