You don't have to go to Halfords for their Apollo carp. Their are reasonably priced, well built cycles available online and from your local cycle shop.
My Raleigh Hybrid aluminium bike cost me £199 over 6 years ago. You can still get a similar replacement model for £270. I do about 2000 commuter miles each year and probably average £40 a year for maintenance/repairs.
