With rising gas prices, greenhouse gases, and the fact that the older I get the less I tend to workout. I would like to start biking to work and other random places. I know very little about bicycles owning only one when I was 8 years old. I need some well informed information.
Ideally I will be traveling a distance between 10-35 miles in a round trip. The majority of my commute will be on flatland or on a somewhat inclined distance. I will be traveling next to a heavily traveled highway that has a sidewalk about 25-35% of the way since it is in somewhat of a dense commericial/residential area.
What would best suit my situation a Hybrid, Moutain Bike, or a Moutain Bike with "aftermarket tires"? Price is somewhat a factor since I dont know if I will keep up with this hobby. I would like to stay under 500.
Also what does the average beginner to intermediate person bike with the above conditions (mph)?
