My husband and I have recently become interested in cycling. We started camping this year with our nine children and have taken family bike rides while camping. We've been really enjoying these rides and decided that he and I could take bike rides on our own in the evenings.
Last week we biked over 22 miles in 4 days I know it's not groundbreaking but it is a start. We really feel like this is a hobby/form of exercise that we could stick with. The only problem is our bikes. I have a Rockslide Mountain Series Huffy that I had in college (over 15 years ago). It's in pretty rough shape.
My husband has a Road Master Kalinpro Huffy that I found at a garage sale for $10.
When our plan was to bike at campsites these two bikes seemed more than sufficient. They are good for trail rides (remembering that we have 9 kids either riding or being towed behind us).
But if we are going to be doing road rides, just the two of us, we are interested in better bikes.
Obviously the options are overwhelming and we don't want to spend a fortune.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Jessica
