Hey,
I'm looking to lose quite a bit of weight after a physical hiatus in college and feel like getting back on a bike that I haven't ridden in years. I'm no real expert at these things. I don't wanna pay for a gym, and frankly don't feel I can afford it in the long run.
Understand that I'm trying to keep it under a budget of perhaps $150 (if necessary, I'll perhaps shell out an extra $50 if this recession will allow me to...).
I'm hoping for a bike that's sturdy enough to ride a lot in the city, that can fit someone like me who is:
Height: 5 feet 5 inches
Weight: 230+ lbs
Needless to say, the bike has to be able to handle a lot of turns I'll be making in the city as well. I don't do wheelies or fancy tricks, just simple biking.
I'll be sure to watch my diet from now on (I still like a bit of fast food once in a while, hope it's not a total sin). I don't need to look like super-hunk, but I'd like to feel healthier than I've been these past few years.
What's a good inexpensive bike for me, if there is any?
