Cheers guys, will be making adjustments accordingly.

Oh and it's part-time work for Deliveroo.

Re: Which Bike for delivery work and general commuting in London?

Thanks for your answers people, some really good advice, most of which I didn't follow haha. I went ahead and bought a Boardman HYB 8.6 as it was on sale. Couldn't resist. The hour ride home was uncomfortable, I started to regret not getting the Kona Dew. Ah well, I got a pretty fast responsive bike for now.

Thanks again for all your replies, I really did mull it all over, but after the test ride, and realisation that the bike was on sale, I got suckered into just getting it there and then.

So may this be a lesson to any other dunce like me reading this, go for comfort over speed.

Cheers.

Which Bike for delivery work and general commuting in London?

Should I go with the Boardman HYB 8.6 Mens Hybrid Bike...

or

the Kona Dew 2019 Hybrid Bike...

?

I'm gonna test ride both this week to see which feels better, but just wondered if anyone else had experience with either bike, and/or knows which bike is offering better specs overall. I'm a dunce when it comes to the technical stuff.

Thanking you kindly.
