ok i have been prowling the forums for a while looking at what bikes intrest me. My uncle is into road bikes and going on bike trips and this all intrest me. Also i like to hit the trails once in a while. Now i have searched those hybid bikes & they all seem to be more exspensive than either of the other two types. with that said i made my main focus on the road bike because lets face it, what am i usually riding on? my price range is from $200 to about $400 US. (i did work on my friends car & he said he will buy me a bike, but maybe he can pitch in for a really good one so he doesn't waste his money) so $400 is the most i really want to spend.
But my biggest concern is the type of bike for me. i'm about 6' - 6'1'' & around 280 - 300 lbs, even though i dont look that big. but seeing those little itty bitty tires scare me...
I plan to ride the bike proble every day. For an example how much I used to ride my other mountain bike about 10+ miles a day and i felt better about myself and loved getting around. Then I went to get it serviced & never got it back. Thanks Sports Authority. So here I am. What do you all Think?... Should I just go to a LBS?
Thanks,
Jared
