Buying a bike.
Hey,
So gas prices are rising, Insurance seems to be as well, and apparently chicks like dudes who ride bikes? Anyways I'm interested in reducing my impact on the environment as well. I drive to work which is about 5-10 kms away from my home. I drive home 9-12 hours later. Only to return later for a workout. Its a dumb idea and I'm sure you have already worked out a better plan for me in your head. I want a bike. I have no idea where to start. I want something strictly for riding to work but I could see it becoming a hobby. I don't want to spend over 400$ Costco sells hybrid bikes that are for all around travel trails or city and they are about 300 bucks however I can buy a used touring bike for around the same price. What do you think? |

Well this seems like something good. But Is it too much of a bike?

any bike, even if it's sized seemingly right by stand-over height or frame size, get on it and see how it feels. Different frames will have different top tube lengths, so some frames will have you more 'stretched out' than others.
(i just picked up a mtn bike through craigs and so i had to brush up on how to buy a bike :p) |

scenesters are taking an old road bike and converting it into a single speed or a fixed gear bike
a fixed gear is hard as hell to ride also, apparently, you're a pussy if you put on breaks i dont see the appeal but a lot of people swear by it, they make great commuter bikes Fixed-gear bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia velospace, the place for bikes Fixed Bicycle Gear |
