I'm not sure what type of bike I'm looking for but I'll describe what I need and hopefully someone can help...
I will probably be biking for just about every day for the rest of the summer, sometimes, but about 10 miles at a time, so it has to be a strong, long lasting type. 2) I usually bike on bike paths and streets 3)I like biking faster than the normal 15-20 speed bikes 4) I'm a little under 6 ft and about 200 pounds.
Any ideas....thanx so much
 
Well, 10 miles rides are pretty short. Riding fast on pavement would point to a road or hybrid bike. I don't know what you mean by #3. And finally your size and weight doesn't really determine the type of bike you would want.

Pro road cyclists ride 20 speed bikes so are you saying you want to go faster than the fastest riders in the world?

If you like speed and have smoth roads to ride on and want the fastest ride - a road bike is the answer. If you want something a little less agressive and may not always have smooth pavement to ride on try a hybrid. A bike in the $500 range should be good to last a long time if maintained well.
