Shorts Bicycle Bike
Recommended recreational bike for new rider?
Hi. I'm a middle-aged adult who hasn't ridden a bike in at least 20 years. I want to start riding for exercise and to save a little on gasoline. I'm looking for a good beginner level bike to ride on local bike paths and for short errands.
I went bicycle shopping last weekend and wound up more confused than ever. Prices are much higher than I expected, and there are sure a lot more options than there were when I was a kid.
I don't need anything fancy, and I don't want anything that will be targetted by thieves.
Any recommendations???
Thanks!
I have a Trek Soho and like it alot.
I have the Soho S (one-speed) - but they have several versions - with extra speeds. Simple, elegant, no-nonsense.
BTW - "Excellant" - the asker was looking for a "recommendation". I agree with you generally about the people who ask which brand is "best" - but if someone asks for a recommendation, they are looking for a recommendation. While it is true that people should try it on for size and such - it's still just a recommendation.
Lighten up.
