need advice on buying a bike new rider
Hello, i'm new to riding infact aint really rid a bike since a kid, but i've hopped onto the corona bike craze and want to ride a bike of my own, I am a keyworker at two jobs and want to avoid public transport. both jobs are no further than about 3-4 miles. although in future I will be using the bike for many more miles up to 100+ miles. anyway I digress I want to know if anyone here has any information on this bike.
"AMMACO FBR750 SPORTS HYBRID BIKE"
its the only bike I can actually find in stock, I've read about ammaco's before and people say they aren't good haha. i'm very limited on where I can purchase at the moment as well since i'm using the cyclescheme with a £400 and a lot of small stores aren't accepting it at the moment. if anyone has any other store suggestions that accept cyclescheme other than halfords and decathalon that would be great.
also would love to know the info on this bike i'm interested in.
thanks guys, stay safe

I'm sorry but that bike is a bit obscure so not a lot of information about, but sells for $380 which is a low end bike, not sure if I would trust the bike for long distance riding, but it is a good starting point for a beginner, then if you find yourself doing a 100 mile ride you can get a better bike.

Not a bad bike for the money
I am new here so that this for what it is worth. All the reviews that I saw were from the UK and they were pretty good reviews. If you keep riding, this probably won’t be the one and only bike that you will ever own but I think it would be a good start. My first bike was a Walmart bike and I rode that for 3 or 4 years. Like you said, bikes are hard to find right now and money is also an issue for most people, it was for me. If you like the bike and they have the proper size, I think that it will work for you as your first bike..
