Sisters BF texted me last night = he is after a hybrid to commute on in less than flat north Cornwall.
He is on a very tight budget of £200 - what would you recommend?
Something second hand off the classifieds? 😉
secondhand, raid gumtree for soemthing like a carrera subway.
Or do what i do, gumtree/freeads for anything less than £30, as long as it has brake blocks and the chain isn't so stretched it skips, its a winner.
Keep it for 6 months or untill it cost more to maintain than a puncture repair kit and a bottle of chain oil.
Then wang it on ebay as "fixie project" and watchit go for £150 🙂
Trek do a cheap hybrid that looks alright - in store only though.

An old tourer from ebay
he is not mechanically addept so new or nearly new is the best option
Carrera Subway, brilliant bike.
