Less Popular Brands with Good New Bikes?

[umerfarhan]

Hi All, I am looking to buy my first hybrid bike for the goal of losing weight.

To be honest the good popular brands have really expensive bikes so I was going through some forums and couple of options are:

1. Buy a used really good brand bike.
2. Get a pricier bike from a less popular/big brands.

I have really little knowledge about bikes so not sure how to evaluate a good used bike.

My budget is around $600-$700. Please advise of some options for me. Thanks

Hey there! If you're looking to lose some weight, I gotta say, uphill challenges are the way to go! But hey, we all have to start somewhere. As for your bike options, I'd recommend going for a used bike from a top brand. They may have some wear and tear, but those bikes are built to last and can handle the toughest climbs. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll soon be addicted to those challenging rides. Keep pushing those limits!
