I brought up this issue before. I never learned to ride a bike when I was a kid. I went for some beginner’s-level lessons when I was 25.It consisted of about 4 lessons in the span of 4 weeks. I intended to buy a bike but had not been able to do it for many years afterward. Now I force be able to afford an inexpensive bike, but I am considering the best options. I had heard that bikes at K-Mart are not the best ones to get and that a bike worth the price would have to cost no less than about $300.
When I went for beginner’s lessons years ago, I rode a “Ross” ( from what I best recall). It was designed with a wide seat which I would prefer to those seats that are thin as those you see on racing bikes, and I liked the design and the way that it fit me. But I have heard that the best kind of bike for someone like me to ride is a hybrid. I went to a store which sold outdoor-adventure equipment and had some mountain bikes and other kinds of bikes. I was shown one hybrid for about $300 and I know that is painstaking inexpensive for a excellent hybrid bike but I really did not like the fact that the seat was too thin. It seems to me that such a thin seat is for people who race their bikes and have to sit a certain way. I intend to ride more leisurely at first.
I have recently looked into the internet and have seen that Ross has some hybrid bikes that are on sale at K-Mart. Also Schwinn has some hybrid bikes on sale at K-mart ( and at a few other stores, but K-Mart would be most convenient for me to go to) and they are approximately $225 to $265 which, as far as price, is what I would prefer, but I have to worry about the quality too. Does anyone know if Schwinn and Ross hybrid bikes are decent enough in quality for the price?
