Hi Everyone

I’m looking for a decent hybrid commuter bike that I can use with a baby seat and/or a trailer for dropping off at the childminder and then getting to work. Something that “just works” with minimal maintenance or faff.

Ideally something that is also suited for a weekend riding along the canals with the family. Wife and I will both use it. Both of us are 5’10.

I’m all ears for suggestions!

Cheers
Eliot

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
