Very new here, so apologies if this has been asked before. I am looking to buy a hybrid bike (around £200, give or take). I will be using it mainly on roads but want something that can take on rougher ground, as well as some long distance cycling. Any recommendations for a good, strong, reliable, value for money bike? I have been looking at the Carrera Subway, Saracen Venturer 2 and Giant Cypress DX. Any thoughts or advice about these or other models is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi there.
Those bike brands you meantioned I'm not very familar with. But I can recommend the Trek Fx series.
I've had mine (Trek 7100fx) for nearly two years and it has served me well. It's been used on roads, a little bit of off-road paths, over pot-holes & a bit of curb jumping. I've even taken it on a 560km 9 day bike tour.
The Trek fx bikes are solidly built bikes & don't have any front suspension. They are rack friendly & slick tyres can make the ride a bit faster.
Anyway, that's only opinion. I'm sure you'll get alot of more info from others.
Happy bike shopping
