Need help choosing a bike.

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to figure out what bike to get. My primary use is leisure and exercise, by exercise I meant just a few high intensity rounds around my local park. Nothing super serious.

Requirements / Details:

1. Durability - I've heard big box store bikes aren't the best build quality, I don't want something that will break in a year or so. That being said, I don't want to spend $1000 on one either. My budget is anything near/around 250-350.

2. Trailer capability - I have two young daughters, I would like to attach a trailer to the bike so I may take my kids for a joy ride.

3. I'm a tall guy, 6'4". - I need something that will compliment my height.


Thank you all in advance for taking the time to respond.

Much obliged!
