Bill do not listen to this. Just because you are requesting help in deciding what type of bike best suits your needs, doesn't mean you should buy a walmart bike. That is simply absurd. Bill you are doing the right thing researching what type of bike to buy and test riding them. You will find the right bike.
Well, it sounds arrogant because many people don't speak their minds. The guy just said, he test drove several bikes and couldn't tell which one he wanted. So, what does that mean? It means he has no freakin' experience. Do you want me to beat around the bush and pretend that he knows what to choose? Look, you people are going to recommend an $800 bike to someone who has no experience. When he does have experience he'll end up spending another $800 to get the bike he really wanted in the first place. Duh.
If you test drive a bicycle and can't tell if you want it or not, you have little or no experience.
