I have yet to own a adult bike in my adult life but I now feel inclined given my apartment offers free parking. Does anyone have any tips? I live in the NYC region, and do enjoy how Citibikes ride. I live in NJ and commute to NYC often. Likely I would keep the bike in NJ to ease commute hassles.
There’s a local shop that has some bikes around the $300 price point that seem to be decent starters.
I want to second this, should definitely ask a bike shop to try some out and get a feel for what will suit you.
After that its up to budget and time investment. You can get pretty good bikes for pretty cheap used, but of course they may come with some work to do. And if you can afford new and prefer a low time investment option, then that is at least equally as good!
Sounds good. I was hopping to get something that I can hand down to my S/O if I find myself getting more serious but I’m now considering this restored 3 speed my local shop has. They want $300.00
My goodness that is the chromest thing I’ve ever seen, I love it! If it’s restored properly and it feels smooth while riding it, I’d say it would definitely be a fun cruiser.
