Help Re: choice of hybrid bike

Bettingmad

I would like somech help in identifying which is the better bike. I will be getting a bike on the cycle to work scheme with halfords. I know nothing about bikes and will be using for commuting and leisure.

Being moneysaving I am drawn to the cheapest, Carrerra seems to get good reviews but I can't find out much about the Voodoo.

Thanks

Personally I would choose the Voodoo, given its hydraulic discs - they don't go out of adjustment, nor do they wear out your rims [in common with cable discs of course]. As far as I can see it has pannier and 'guard mounts also, ehich for my money are essential for commuting, in particular. But the main thing is that the bike feels right when you ride it [or at least sit on it!].
