The last bike I got was from Sears and that was like 14 years ago. I have not ridden a bike for at least eight or nine years and I am looking into buying my first road bike mainly for fitness reason. There are so many brands out there that I just don't know where to start.
I know visiting a local bike shop would help, but since I just moved to Vancouver, so I need some help identifying reputable shops in the area because I really don't have much knowledge regarding bikes.
I am about 5' 5" tall and weight around 155 lbs. My budget is about $3000. From my brief search in this archive, it seems Cannondale bikes are a bit too stiff for the road, Is there any brands that I should stay away due to my size and weight? What brands would you guys recommend me to look into? I really appreciate for all your responses.
