The Aldi ones are cheap (under $100 each) but REALLY badly set up… the brakes, etc are all adjusted really badly. And they are HEAVY!
If you buy one, allow a few hours to fix up the assembly, grease the brake cables, etc.
check catalogues of kmart, big w and target, they will usually have bikes on sale
2 quality bikes might be a stretch at 300, maybe second hand like ebay otherwise new kamrt/target is your friend.
Quality bikes usually start at 500-600, for one with good gears, frame and brakes etc
If you plan on riding 10km a day, it might be a better idea to buy a better quality bike 2nd hand. From experience, riding a cheap bike everyday is frustrating, and you will probably end up upgrading to something better very quickly.
I would go to a bike shop and try a few, see what size bike works best for you. Then look through ebay, gumtree etc until you find quality, used bikes that are the right fit for you.I think i paid around $450 for my giant boulder. 5 years later its still going strong. All my friends who have BigW bikes have issues repairing them if something apart from a puncture goes wrong.
Disc breaks are amazing, although very sensitive. I've impaled my crotch on the headset a few times. I'd never go back to rubber breaks again.
It depends where you're parking it at night. If its in a garage/lockup shed, i'd be inclined to get a good bike. If its left outside and is likely to get kicked by drunks, a bigw bike might be more appropiate.
looks like 2nd hand is the way to go, where can i find 2nd hand bike? i just want one that i can ride, do not need to be fast or light, but must be safe with very bright light. just for exercise purpose.

Aldi occasionally have inexpensive bikes that seem reasonable quality.
