Haven't cycled in years, but looking for a bike to get around the city quicker and potentially for commuting to work sometimes (around 6mi).

Decathlon is by far the best value in stores around me. The two main options I'm considering are:

- Elops Long distance Step through city bike 500 - £450

- Riverside 500 hybrid bike - £350 but doesn't come with lights or mud guards which will add to the price

I don't know much about bikes so can't tell is there much difference between these considering what I want it for. My main concern is my cycle to work (almost all downhill), I don't want to arrive super sweaty so if one is a more comfortable ride that would be preferable.
