Are there any value-for-money hub gear bicycles on sale in the UK?

Derailleur gears are such a pain. Keep breaking, wearing out and are not efficient in practice. Also, all the stopping and starting in traffic.

Answers:

Which bike is better to buy. A BMX bike or a mountain bike?

Giant make a crx city that is fitted with the shimano nexus system (8 speed). Cost is less than its derailleur cousins. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available in the U.K.. Could be worth annoying your local Giant dealer about. Maybe they have something similar.You might be able to send for one over the channel.

At least the nexus system is available. You could fit it to your own bike

The only thing I can find in U.K. that has this fitted is the joey commute.(See below) (I'm in Australia so it's a bit hard to check for you)

There are quite a few manufactures offering this system so check them all out.
