Bicyle help! Which bicycle should I get? (newbie)? |
I'm a college student in boston and I am considering buying a bike for general commuting in the city and between classes. I am also interested in training for long-range distances but that is not for the near future. General around town riding is best done with a hybrid. Wider tires etc. help out. Many hybrids can be good foe longer distances too. If you have no plans in the near future this would be my choice. http://www.schwinnbike.com/products/bike... I am voting for a hybrid. Be sure to go to a bike shop vs. a chain store...you will pay more, but will get a quality bike that will last and have fewer repairs. The shop will fit you for the bike and make recommendations as to the best bike for your needs. I suggest that you visit a few shops so that you can compare product lines and prices. You should able to pick up a name brand hybrid for under $400 and be sure to check out last years models...they often have a significant discount and may even be of better quality than the current model. Best of luck and happy commuting. I would say a hybrid bike but I wouldn't be the best at giving advice ......... I am new to the bike thing myself I think a hybrid will suit you just fine. You can ride it on a several day ride with no problem when you are ready for that. There are some people who use hybrids for touring. hybird Get 1 of the Marin ALPs http://www.marin.co.uk/2008/ Schwinn Sierra GS, $185 delivered from Sports Liquidators. |
