Hi,
After reviewing a number of bicycle sites on the web. I have come to the conclusion this is almost
as bad as purchasing a new car I was hoping somebody would give me some solid recommendations on
a beginner bike purchase.
1. I have been working out now for 2 months on a stationary bike and running, and this spring (if
it ever arrives here in Mass) I would like to start riding outside.
2. My short term goal is to bike to work and back home (24 miles around trip)
3. My long term goal is to bike 150 Miles for MS with a group of local bickers in work. Over two
days in June.
What brand, type, bike style should I consider as a beginner, and also be able to handle my goals
above. I was hoping to keep my budget in the $500 range, but I am certainly very open minded on
that front.
** Are there e-sites that have better deals?
** Is it better to purchase locally?
** Can I expect any deals on 2002 bikes or is that only a fall option?
** What type of tires should I consider given the climate of Mass?
Any other help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
