few questions about buying a bicycle?
I recently found out biking is a good exercise and also noticed there are many good trails where i live (D.C.) So now i'm trying to buy a bicycle. I heard craigslist is a good place to buy one cheap. But I'm so confused. There seem to be wide range of price, types, and brands. Why are some so expensive? what is good about them? should i get them? And also what type should i buy? mountain or road? I will be riding them 1~2 hrs 3to4 times a week, mostly on paved roads.
Can I get a good buy under 100 dollars? and how long do bikes last usually? I see some ppl selling bikes from the 80s for a high price tag..what is the reason for that?
Oh and what are some good brands i should know to look for?
Alot of questions i know...
any input would be appreciated.
thanks
Trek and Specialized are good brands, my favorite is Raleigh. There are a lot of other good brands out there. Since you live in the D.C. area, and if you get a chance, go to the College Park Bicycle shop. They have a HUGE selection of used bicycles and the expertise to help you select the best one for you. Another good shop is the nearby Proteus Bicycles, not nearly the selection of used bikes but a very helpful and knowledgeable sales staff. In the D.C. area itself, I've heard good things about Capitol Hill Bikes, but I've had no first hand experience with them.
For the type of riding you'll be doing I'd look for a hybrid or a comfort bike. The D.C. craigslist usually has adds for Raleigh type three speeds. These are older, bullet proof, commuter type bikes that might work for you too. Take anything you buy on craigslist to a bicycle shop and have it tuned up and checked for safety as a precaution. If nothing else, you'll probably need to replace cables and tires.
