Whether you are looking to get into a new sport or are a seasoned cyclist, a bike is a summer essential.

Cycling is not only a great way to keep fit, but is also a fun way to explore your surroundings and to entertain the family too, especially during the long, summer school holidays.

Plus, with COVID still knocking around, if you're keen to avoid public transport, getting a bike will make your journey healthier and more fun.

But the sheer amount of choice out there - not to mention cost - can be overwhelming.

To help make your decision a bit easier, we've found some brilliant buys at great price points. Check out our edit of bikes at £300 and under for adults (we've even found a great mountain bike for £169). And we've hunted down some great bike buys at under £200 for children - including a £39.99 balance bike for toddlers.

Enjoy the ride.
