For example, if you're going to be mainly cycling on flat roads and wish to work on your speed and fitness, then a road bike is probably the best choice for you. These are the thin, sleek bikes with the drop handlebars that you see professional road racers riding on the TV. Don't worry though, you don't have to spend a fortune on a feather-light carbon model like the pros - there are plenty of affordable models under 500 available.

If you're more inclined to take to the countryside, then a mountain bike may be for you. Their chunky tyres make them much more suited to the rugged terrain you'll be tackling on country trails or in the forest, and you'll find the ride much more comfortable due to the suspension. There are many different models of mountain bike available with varying spec, so it's a good idea to get some advice from a mountain biking professional before buying.
