Hi,
I'm looking to buy a bike through the Cycle2Work scheme. The bike will be used for getting to/from work (mostly on city roads) but also for bike rides, which will probably mostly be around the city or through parks, etc. I was thinking of getting a dual-suspension mountain bike, but have been advised not to get a mountain bike for cycling to work, and if I really want a mountain bike, to get one with front suspension only.
Can anyone give me any further advice on this? Is it really a bad idea to get a dual-suspension mountain bike?
I had been planning on getting this: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_711911_langId_-1_categoryId_165499
Thanks in advance for any advice given.
Thanks,
Jess
