Re: getting a bike
Hi... if you plan on riding on the roads only, you can consider a road bike. You never know when you might want to try a triathlon, so that would allow you that option. Then again, no one says you can't do one on a mountain bike. With a mountain bike, it'll be more comfortable in terms of a more upright position and you could ride all over the place with it, even down stairs if you wish.
A decent safe bike would start from $800 onwards. Any cheaper than that, and you're getting into the Carrefour territory of bikes. Nice to look at when they're shiny and new but are basically made from the cheapest materials and components around. Not a good idea.
That only scratches the surface... if you have any other questions, just ask away
