I want to start riding a bicycle for exercise?

Question

I would ride it on pavement only and start out a couple miles
working my way to 10 miles. What kind of bicycle should i buy? A middle of the road priced. comfortable.

Answer 1

You are going to want a road bike or a hybrid. Certain types of hybrids are called "commuters." they often include features like fenders since commuting on a bike can often be messy. However, if you envision yourself becoming more of a cyclist and doing some fitness or longer recreational rides, a road bike would be preferable. Trek offers a full range of each. Other good brands with full lines include Specialized and Giant.

Answer 2

First congrats on wanting to improve your fitness thru cycling. Next let me say that I'm having a lot of trouble answering your question. As a "type A" triathlete I can't come up with any reasons to ride a "comfort" bike. If you see yourself ever riding with others, or caring about how fast your going, or if you went faster then last Tuesday get a road bike. You will spend more, but that 10miles your working for will go by a lot faster at 20+mph then it will on a cruiser. Good luck

Answer 3

I would recommend either a hybrid or mountain bike as these offer more versatility and do not need to be treated as delicately as a roadbike. Also an entry level road bike will set you back almost $1000, whilst either of the above types of bike's tend to be far cheaper. good luck.

Answer 4

I holiday a highway motorbike on section motorbike trails, highway and particularly lots each place different than gravel areas. I holiday almost 2k miles a 300 and sixty 5 days and on the hills upward push as much as 35 mph, commonly used above 12 mph a holiday would desire to be 6 miles to artwork one way as much as 50 miles an afternoon for exciting.

Answer 5

A hybrid would be a good choice for you. Look at a TREK 7.2 or 7.3. Versitile entry level bike that would allow to to increase your miles when you find out how fun cycling is!
