Best bike for beginning to use as exercise?

[BellaCata]

I would like to add cycling to my exercise routine and looking for some recommendations for a reasonably priced, comfortable bike for a beginner? I haven't ridden in at least 10 years and am slowly getting back in shape.

Get yourself a hybrid. Sort of a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike. Comfortable and just right for exercising. If equiped with a front shock, good for light off road too. Go to your local bike shop for fitting and selection. Fit is First.

A hybrid bike will be the best all around bike. You can ride them on the road and hard packed dirt bike paths. They can have a spring post seat and adjustable handlebars. You can get them with front shocks but the shocks will eat up some of the energy. You want to go to the local bike shop and see what they have. You want to get a bike that fits you for the most comfort.
