My Boyfriend and I fancy taking up a new bike related hobby in the form of off-roading. We wanna do green laning/trails rides really but there is a little 'course' in keynsham, Bristol too.

I use the offroad bikes at work every now and again (Honda CRF 250's) but they are far too tall for me to go proper off roading. I don't want anything too tall as i need to be able to steady myself with my feet but all the bikes I've seen seem to have really flat competition seats (motocross???)

I reckon enduro style bikes are the way to go, and it'll have to be electric start...so where do we start, what do we look for?

Oh yeah and they've also either gotta have a road kit on them or compatible to fit one.

Any help gratefully received.
