Cycling day trips are now officially on the agenda as lockdown measures are slowly lifted. If this is a summer of winding down the banks of rivers and stumbling upon hidden lakes in lesser-known corners on a bicycle, then so be it.
Scrolling endlessly for the perfect bicycle can be exhausting, so we’ve done the work for you by carefully curating a selection of the best bikes based on design, aesthetic, speed and practicality. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to acquire all four so keep your main needs in mind. Whilst commuters are more able to prioritise aesthetic, hardcore outdoorsy types might have to make some sort of a sacrifice in this area the same way a Dutch commuter won’t ever make it up Vanbrugh Hill in Greenwich (if you know, you know). Either way, these bicycles will do just the job depending on your needs.
On that note, the bike racks have made a comeback, the beers and sandwiches are in a cool bag in the boot and we’re raring to go.
