I know we have some bicycles here so I need some opinions. Been focusing on getting into some sort of manageable shape and been riding a recumbent bike since short after Christmas.
Daughter and wife have mountain bikes and I'd like to join them riding this summer. Nothing hard core, mainly street and mild off road trails-bike trails that are flat and well maintained. Not hard core mountain bike trails.
Checked out Dicks and been looking online. Craigslist is no help around me. Trying to find a bike that is sturdy to hold my fat self while getting back into shape. What are some brands or styles I should look into? What's a 29er? Any websites I should check out?
I've browsed some forums and I know the sky's the limit for prices. I'd like to keep it under $400.
So thoughts? Thanks!
