Their hybrid Carrera is plenty good enough for pootling to the city and back in all

Get an older model for under ?250. Then pay a small amount to get it serviced from your local bike shop as Halfords have a reputation of shoddily putting their bikes together. The bikes themselves are good value for the money.
