Courier race 12 is currently on sale for £280.

Whatever bike he likes, I would always take a test ride first.

I bought a Globe Work hybrid in September, which both I and my waistline love.



The Specialized store in Birmingham price-matched Evans at £315, so only just outside your budget, BUT don't forget all the extra kit you need with it. A pump, lights, helmet (if he so chooses), a good lock, mudguards if he wants to ride it in the wet without getting a big wet stripe down his back, spare inner tube, some sort of multitool - the list goes on. I reckon my total cost has been nearer £500.

If anything, the above bike's a bit heavy, but I don't mind that. A bit of extra weight to move about = more calories burnt. I'm over a stone lighter already.

A really good range of cycles are provided by Edinburgh Cycles - a workers co-operative from, well, Edinburgh! They have stores as far south as Sheffield but they sell on line and deliver very well designed and specced bikes at great prices. They are very well regarded by the cycling community and regularly win awards. their trailfinder is only £225! A Lot of Bike for the money



Great delivery and service too! Then there is their courier disk slightly more but reduced from £370 nice frame and disk brakes.

Probably the best value bikes anywhere!

If you can stretch an extra £40 then this is amazing: http://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/products.php?plid=m9b3s18p9592&rs=gb&vid=32756
