Hello I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm trying to get into the bicycle hobby; my uncle is a professional racer but I'd like to see what you guys have to say also.

I've never had a road bike and I'm looking for an entry level bike to get me started. UC Davis is known as the bike capitol of the country supposedly... everyone ditches their cars for bikes. But bike theft is high and so I'm hesitant to get something flashy and expensive.


Anyone?
