Hi. I'm a beginner cyclist I guess. I'm a runner, and cycling as cross training while i'm semi-injured. I really like it though, and plan on cycling a lot more, 3 or 4 times a week, 20-50 miles at a time, maybe more. Maybe train for a Duathlon. I almost never ride on trails, and would like a road bike, but that's about all I know. I would like to bike year round too, so if I need anything special to do that in snow/slush, please let me know, Thank you!

Check out the Trek 1.2, Felt Z100 (or Z95), Cannondale CAAD8 Sora, and Giant Defy 3. Those are all great bikes under $1,000. Snow/cold riding is all about proper clothing, which will cost you a small fortune. A non-slick tire will also be a requirement.
