Hey all,

I got a 100 euro second hand bike 6 years ago and it worked well for casual rides and a 40 minute commute (round trip) 4x a week, but I just moved houses and my commute is about to jump to 120 minutes a day so the one I currently have is making it harder than it should be. I live in Dublin.

I'm looking for something comfortable, light but still sturdy and not flashy as I lock it outside at both home and work. My budget is up to 300 euro and I can use the cycle to work scheme.

Any recommendations for models, brands, shops, or things I should prioritize? Also open to hearing that's worked well for others.

Thanks!
