Hey all, I'm new to cycling and am in the market for a basic, budget bike to get me started. I'm aware these are very cheap, low quality bikes but they're just to get me into the hobby. Could you please advise which has the better features? I'm looking to use the bike for casual riding up to 20km on roads on the weekends, and some short commuting during the week. I'm opting for a hybrid as there is some off-road routes near me too that I'd like to explore. Which of these has the best features? Thanks

i’m not a professional by any means, but i think the first option would be best suited for your needs. The second one is generally more of a casual city commuter, not really made for dirt trails or anything of that sort. someone can correct me if i’m wrong. also noticed the first bike is a tad lighter which would be nicer for you.
