Hi All,
Looking for some advice here. I am looking to buy a bike, and my top two concerns are comfort and budget. It's been a while since I have ridden a bike consistently, essentially since I got my license, and looking to start both for some exercise and for fun. Not looking to go on any long distance rides or to set any speed records. Looking for a casual ride that will be comfortable (so I will continue to ride it) on a tight budget. I have visited a couple local bike shops and they have been very hopeful. I now have a handful of bikes that I need to decide between, and hope people here can help me, since I have had a hard time finding customer reviews/consumer reports online.
Here are the bikes I have been told would work best for me:
- Louis Garneau Urbania SC4 - $449
- Cannondale Quick 6 - $599
- Cannondale Quick 8 - $519
- Trek Verve 2 - $529
- Specialized Expedition - $499
Any thoughts on these bikes? First thought would be cheaper is better, but is another one more bang for the buck or better suited for what I am looking for?
Thanks everyone for you help.
