So I said it before. I got a Schwinn OR2 (hybrid with the goofy hydrolics that i probably don't need). Cost 350 at Target and I bought it for astheticis and shocks like I am 12 (26)

That said - lots of riding over the last month. Don't judge cuase I'm real new and out of shape but around 60 miles later I went from 200+ lbs to 187.

I made it 10 miles in one ride for the first time 2 days ago and I love it. $1000 or $350 this things doing what I need it to.
