I want to get a bike just for riding around the local park with my young daughter and general exercise, I wont be crashing down any mountain trails.

Is this good for the money or is it likely to fall aprt within a couple of years

Any opinions appreciated

Cheers

It will probably be knackered in a few years as they very cheap and nasty also very heavy and not very pleasant to ride.However if its just for ride in the park with your daughter it should be ok.
Ebay have lots, might be worth checking there for a bargain good quaity used one

Don't bother with full suspension. I'd have to agree with looking along the second hand route.

If you could stretch to a couple of hundred quid, the Giant Boulder at about £185 is a great choice. Lighter with better gears (well, better everything) than the Apollo. You really do get what you pay for with bikes !

Or 2nd hand as above - look for one of the big brands like Giant, Trek, Specialized or Cannondale, which might be affordable 2nd hand. Ditto re full suspension, which adds weight (full sussers at this price are crap anyway !).

Avoid like the plague. I worked in Halfords for six months between proper jobs and sold loads of these. Very difficult to set up, very heavy, and very cheap.
