Advice on next bike
Hi all, I need to get some advice on choosing a bike. My intended purpose will be to use it for the following, Weight loss, commuting (13-26 miles one way), & and at some point touring. To add to all this fun I am getting ready to turn 51. My SUV broke down so that is what has caused the commuting issue but this could be fun. Right now I will be using a Wal-Mart Genesis V2100 MTB, all the riding should help with the weight loss (Win / Win), and I started hiking and camping this year so I guess touring just fits. Now I understand that one bike may not be great in all areas but want I need is one that is well rounded. My guess is Commuting / Touring could use the same bike with no major problems. My budget for the bike is $400-800 so any suggestions would be a big help. I am posting this in the four areas it covers Thanks for the advice in advance. Gregg
