I want to purchase a new bicycle and I'm not sure which kind to buy. Some things I do know:
Price range: between ($300-$1,000)
Intended biking distance: between 15-30 miles/day, hopefully 70+ once I get in shape. (I am in my early 20's and I weigh 150)
Biking primarily on: bike paths, city streets (some that are busy), rough bumpy sidewalks, occasional grass
Use for bike: workout, short commutes under 15 miles, the hope of using it to try solo touring/w camping (carrying as little as possible)
What kind of bike is best for me? Touring? Road? Hybrid? Mountain? And of those, does anyone own and use a bike with similar conditions as I explained above? What specific bike(s) would you recommend? Any help is most appreciated!
