Starter Bike. HELP!!
Howdy,
I would like to know what to look for in a starter bike and what brands I should be looking for. I would really like to start cycling but I don't have my own bike so I want to buy one. Help me, please!
I was looking at a Giant OCR1 for $300. Any opinions on this bike?
Thanks & Gig'em!

Hey jakaaa,
Welcome to Bike Forums.
Brands are not as important as buying from a friendly shop.
Some of us started with a used bike from Craigslist.
Size is most important.

Thank you!
I've found so many bikes on Craigslist, I just didn't really know what too look for like the components and stuff.
I saw that bike but it is too big for me.
Would you mind giving me your opinion on these bikes:

https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/3984227504.html
https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/3966115005.html

There's just too many bikes!

Agree, the Giant looks nice, air up the tires and adjust the saddle.
