    At that price, avoid suspension and disc brakes. It won't work, it will break and you will be annoyed.

    Although reduced from 445, maybe not as bad as I make out. Still, I wouldn't.

    I'd say for your budget you'd be better off going second hand. Just saw a few good looking bikes on done deal for a little more than the cost of either of those. There's a Carrera gryphon hybrid, dawes mountain bike, felt mountain bike, none of which I have any connection to btw. It's hard to know what way Halfords price their bikes, they tend to go up and down wildly sometimes!

    I'll have a look on Adverts later tonight. I'll post some my findings to get some advice.

    What do you want to do with the bike?

    The Carrera Subway seems to be decent enough and probably preferable to the Apollos. It's not the lightest of bikes but will do nicely. At €225 you won't be too bothered when, in a year's time you're hooked on cycling and want to upgrade. Don't use a bike to work scheme on this as you'll want that later on for the upgrade.

    Get a decent D-lock to go with it, cable locks are not good enough.

    Good luck and enjoy the spins...
