    Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if im asking the wrong question here.
    Id like to buy a bike for myself but i am kinda lost when i go looking in bike shops or online as to what would suit me.

    IM 5'11" and roughly 17 stone and im buying the bike as a start into getting fit again.id only be using the bike for an hour in the evenings to cycle about.

    Id like to spend as close to €200 as possible n would prefer something simple n more importantly i wont be fixing the chain or dealing with gear problems or the likes that i had on mickey mouse bikes in my teens.
    Sorry for the long winded post and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You won't get a new bike for 200 that isn't crap.

    VooDoo or Carrera from Halfords are supposedly fine (avoid the cheaper brands from Halfords).

    Decathlon in Belfast apparently have some cheap decent bikes, but might be a bit far to travel.

    At that price, buy second-hand.

    Check Adverts.ie and Donedeal.ie to start
