For that money you won't get better than the Decathlon range.

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/C-359112-mtb-_-mountain-bikes

Their website has been down for the last few days, and I'm waiting to order a bike  Sad.  Can these rock riders be bought anywhere else?

Front or back?

Both, for a MTB (Kona). The seat of my office chair now has a wet patch  Smiley
The front tyre tends to flick water straight into my mush, I'm not sure if those guards that attach to the underside of the frame are any good? (front).

The ones that attach to the underside of the front don't stop spray when you turn the wheel.

Looking to get the missus a hybrid bike, it has chunky tyres but a slick tread. Any good for roads and cycle paths. She won't be cycling up and down mountains Smiley

Good choice here. Solids, well made bikes, good price, nothing fancy.

Attention Batch

I know you use the Chippenham to Calne cycle path, where do you access it at the chip end?

Attention Batch

I know you use the Chippenham to Calne cycle path, where do you access it at the chip end?  

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.466494,-2.103195&spn=0.00901,0.040641&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=51.464347,-2.104045&panoid=_tyGXsFz9IZcQ56AmqEfbQ&cbp=11,9.9,,0,0.19

I use cocklebury lane (left track) to get to the above point above, cycle path is on the right as you look at the streetview pic. Follow it straight down until you reach the gate/road (couple of miles).

Turn Left onto road Map Shows where cyclepath joins road and is facing direction you need to travel!

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.453044,-2.068176&spn=0.009012,0.040641&t=h&layer=c&cbll=51.453037,-2.068185&panoid=V9XWNNRvPXKR8R97ogKUMw&cbp=11,115,,0,0&z=15

Ride approx half mile on road towards Studley hill, cycle path resumes on left:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.4493,-2.061267&spn=0.009013,0.040641&t=h&layer=c&cbll=51.449302,-2.06127&panoid=A8dpxXHkTyP2jy3ac6XZWw&cbp=11,54.62,,0,0.19&z=15

Then its just a matter of going straight on cycle path until you reach Calne. Note that not to far along the resumed cycle-path, just after the bridge another path joins in. Make sure you go back the same way you came (left fork from Calne Smiley )
