I'm going to go pick up a road bike from the LBS this weekend.
The Trek 1000 is what I'm looking at purchasing, because it seems like the best bang for your buck beginner bike (wow, alliteration). Anyway, do you all think this is a wise choice?
Trek seems to be the name brand for bikes, and I don't want to overlook any lesser known options. I'm willing to spend up to $800 for a nice road bike.
This is my first post, by the way.
I work as an engineer in West Texas, and my name is Jimmy. I'm going to pick up cycling because I just graduated college, and I'm spending a nearly intolerable 8 hours a day in an office.
When I was in school, I would go to the rec center to cycle on their stationary bikes. I'd usually do about 7 miles in 20 minutes after lifting weights. I love the outdoors, and I need an avenue to stay in shape. Hence, cycling. I regreat not getting into it earlier, as I am 22 now. Better late than never though.
At any rate, any advice is welcome. Glad to be a member here.
