Selecting a Bike
Doctor told me to get a bike. Consumers Reports say Giant FCR3 is good
for exercising ( I'm 57, 5'7", 170 pounds). When I went to the LBS, and told them I wanted a bike that was also comfortable, and could take some bumps (be easy on my butt + back), handle curbs, be fitted with baskets and perhaps even be ridden in a campground occasionally or a dirt path, they told me to go with something like a Giant Sedona or a Cannondale Comfort 5 instead. When I talked to the people at work, they all seem to like low end mountain bikes like the Iron Horse Warrior 3, except for one buddy who got a $100 dual suspension bike whose bearing failed in a coupled of yrs. So right now, I basically confused with conflicting advice. It seems that big tires are the way to gain comfort but exercise bikes don't seem to have them, and if the bike isn't comfortable I know I won't ride it. I really would like a dual suspension, even if it's used + a little scratched. But I really don't know which way to really choose the style because there such a selection of bikes out there, not like when I was a kid, it actually a little confusing. Could you some help sorting this out. Thanks |
