Hey everyone,
Guess my retarded thread name got your attention
My name is Shawn, I'm 20 and an architecture student at SP. Recently I've been getting fat, I stand 170cm tall and 80KG, I regularly work out at the gym for upper body muscles but nothing much for fat burning. So its either running, which i hate, or cycling, which I've always loved.
Ok to the point...
I've mostly ridden BMXs and MTB just for fun, but I'm now interested in Road Biking. But the thing is I have not a single clue about road bikes. I have a tight budget since I'm a student so probably $500 would be ideal, I'm not sure of what i can get with that, but hopefully something respectable and competent, may be even 2nd hand.
Here are some questions off the top of my head:
- How much do road bikes range from? Cheapest to Most expensive.
- Are there cheap bikes under $500 and have a good weight? Not to light that it cost a bomb and not too heavy as well.
- I've seen many threads on the parts of the bikes and people buying and changing them, is there a need for regular maintainance besides the cleaning?
- How do i even get started in the sport?
- Any good bike shops that can help my budget?
Thanks,
Ride Safe
