I have been been walking/jogging to get in shape the past couple of months. I would now like to upgrade to cycling part of the time as well. (My ultimate goal is to be able to train for a triathlon). As I was searching the internet for some options, I was amazed at the many types of bikes available!
I will be mostly cycling on a trail which is part dirt and part pavement. I also live in Pittsburgh so inclines are entirely possibly during my trail. Lastly, I am not fond of the bikes that have very low handlebars. (I don't know what type of bikes these are)
I understand that you "get what you pay for" but at the same time, I am unsure of if I will even enjoy cycling so I don't want to spend $300 plus on a whim.
Can anyone help me on which type of bike would be best for a beginner?
