Hello all, this is my first post! Let me start off by saying I know NOTHING about bikes. Please be nice :big-smile: I recently changed jobs and I now live 5 miles away from where I'll be working. I used to drive 16 miles to work, 32 miles a day. So I'm very excited about being closer and saving money on gas. Well, I have been looking at mountain bikes lately because I feel buying a road bike is pretty hard core for a beginner like me I need to figure out for my commute what would be a smarter buy? I am a bit on the husky side, 6 foot, about 230. I just need some advice on if I should get a road bike or a mountain bike?! My cousin said to check this site out earlier so I thought I'd post. Thanks for looking any help is appreciated!
