>>1672587With a budget like that I would recommend going to a local bike shop that has lots of options in stock for you to try out. You can get very good new bikes that do certain things very well at that price, overall you just want to make sure you're comfortable riding it. That's honestly the most important part of it. /n/ will meme you about hybrids and other flat bar bikes being shite, but if you if you don't feel comfortable using drops then don't buy a bike with them.
If you're replacing a car with it, just think about what car things you'll want it to do. I would highly recommend saving about 500-700€ of that budget just so you can kit yourself out with necessary accessories.
>helmet>good tire pump w/ built in pressure gauge>flat repair kit>quality U-lock+cable>good LED front and rear lights>fenders if the bike doesn't have them (makes riding suck less in rain and snow because you didn't get wet shit on the road kicked up your back)>bell (if you aren't comfortable just yelling at peds to get out of your way)>chain lube (cheap, just planning on buying some while you're there)Did you typically make sizable grocery runs with your car? If so, you'll probably want something with a rack and panniers right from the start. In the US you could pretty quickly blow about $200-$400USD on a good pair of panniers, but they're well worth it imo.
If you want to carry stuff but not as much as panniers would let you, consider getting a basket, or maybe a rack with a trunk bag.
