In an attempt to get fitter, I want to get a bike to use a couple of times a week to get to work (4 miles total), however not had a bike for 5/6 years. So no idea what kind of thing I need!

In the past I've always had full suspension, but I did hate it, always really heavy etc.

It will mostly be roads and pavements that I'll be using, maybe a few off road paths, but only dirt tracks etc.

I'm guessing full suspension would be a waste of time and money. Would something with just front forks be good enough?

I'm looking at spending around £250.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to look at? Bigger the better ideally, I'm 6ft 4, want something that I'll enjoy riding.

Thanks!
