Urban/ hybrid bikes are great for getting to and from work. They can also handle rough river paths and parks for those who prefer the scenic route.

• Trek 7.5 FX WSD £575 – comfortable, smooth ride thanks to Trek’s new WSD (Women Specific Design) geometry. Smooth gear shifting makes it easy for more mixed terrain.

Single speed/ fixed gear bikes are definitely cool for getting around and about town. Unless your town happens to be somewhere particularly hilly!

• Wilier Pista £849 (exclusive to CycleSurgery) – Italian design makes the Pista ultra-stylish around town. Flip–flop hub means it easily switches from single speed to fixed wheel set-up.

• Giant Bowery £450 – the Bowery comes in small frame sizes for girls and is lightweight for an easy ride. Chrome drop handlebars and stays give it a cool retro look, and you can choose to go brakeless if you want extra speed through town.
