10 of the Best Commuter Hybrid Bikes for Under £500

Out top rated commuter hybrid bikes. 10 of the very best for under 500 with tips and buying advice

Designed by Victoria Pendleton herself, the Brooke is a sturdy commuter hybrid bike with a sleek finish; the plum red paint and old gold detailing look feminine and classic.

The aluminium frame is both light and sturdy, and with 24 gears you’ll be able to take on hills and rough ground with ease. Gear changing comes courtesy of a Shimano Revoshift, a type of grip shift, so you twist a mechanism at the handlebars rather than clicking through with a lever.

The bike is finished with a padded saddle and grips, and non slip pedals to help keep your feet firmly planted.

It’s got the various bolts and bolt holes you’ll need if you want to attach a pannier rack or mudguards, and good quality V-brakes.
