hey peeps, im saj, hope your all kewl!
originally i was thinking of getting a motorbike, then i was thinking the whole cost of getting license, bike, insurance etc will cost too much,
then i heard about the electric bicycle, but then im thinking why not get a normal bicycle which will be good for my cardio.
so im obviously thinking of getting a bike,
to be honest i was in my teens when i last had a bike,
which was a full suspension mountain bike, think it was a apollo guru from halfords,
we talking like years ago!
so now im not really clued up! lol...
i'd like to know the difference between road bike, mountain bike and hybrids please?
i understand the road bikes are for road usage and are fast also have smaller tyres, is that right?
i'd also like to know what road bikes are like for going up hills?
can i use the bikes as normal in the winter or do i need to get anything like winter tyres for road bike???
im looking to commute to and from work that's less then 7 miles round trip,
and after work use the bike to get to the gym and back which is like 5 miles round trip.
my intention is to also try and go for long rides on the weekends.
ideally i'd like to be able to put mud guards on the bike cause i'll use it to commute,
also would like to put the rack at the back and be able to put the cycle pannier bag on.
by the way some of you commute to and from work with your bikes,
how many miles do you ride to and from work?
i want to improve my cardio and save some money at the same time to be honest,
id obviously like to spend as less as possible, you know get as much value for money as i can,
dont get me wrong if i see something i really like i can buy it,
but the worry i have is that if i buy a bike and then down the line i get lazy and don't end up using it at all,
then it will be a waste of money so to speak!
i've had a look on the famous auction site but seems to be so many bikes im a bit lost lol!
any help would be much appreciated, thanks saj!
p.s sorry for asking so many questions lol!
