Buying guide: best city bike under 800 for commute
For mostly paved commuting, a reliable city/hybrid bike with mounts for fenders and a rack usually beats a race road bike. Prioritize fit, disc brakes, and a shop that will help with setup. If you’ll mix light paths, a hybrid still wins under ~$800; save gravel bikes for rougher routes.
Side-by-side: start with Priority Continuum Onyx if it matches your top priority, keep Trek FX 2 Disc as the runner-up when the trade-off flips.
