Hello there, I'm new here and looking for buying advice. I'm a casual cyclist, cycling for 2-3 times a week, mostly getting myself a bit of cardio and R&R in the process. My old trustworthy Scott broke down, so here I am.

1st post . Looking to purchase I believe what is considered a hybrid . I'm considered a clydesdale at 6'3 250# and hoping to drop around 20# . I live near a nice paved 7 mile loop . I tried a road bike but just didn't stick with it . At 60years old I'm thinking more comfort might keep me in the...

I got an add for Scott-buy.com and found some bikes 70% off. Usually if it is too good to be true then it is but has anyone heard or ordered from this site? How can the prices be so cheap?

My first post here! Just wondered what folks would recommend -new or used bike for my 15 year old (16 in three weeks) and what brands to look at? I don't really want to spend $400 unless I really have to. His last bike was used and we got it for $100. He is 5'3 and a regular build. He'll be...

I have a question about my bike. A twitter Blake MTB, I am trying hard to raise my natural cadence from the low 80's, But every time I get above 85RPM, approx., I start to get bounced out of the saddle by the bike. It kinda feels like riding a kids bouncy castle or a space ball, if you...

I've mentioned this a bit before here on Cycling Forums, but I only just noticed this section of the forum recently, and thought maybe some people here might be able to offer encouragement or have gone through similar experiences. I'm sure it is like this everywhere, but where I live I've...

Hi, New member here but I have been going through some of this clydesdale forum, very good to see support for us bigger guys. As the title suggests, I am having a few problems with pain. :mad: Basically hand, sit bone and patella tendon pain and I would really appreciate some advice on...
