Sorry if this is a regular question. I really am new to this bicycle thing. I am considering purchasing a bike for fitness purposes. I am quite over weight but losing. My question is this. What would be a decent starter bike for this purpose with commuting use possible in the future. I realize I will have to build up to it. I have a 15 mile commute one way. Mostly level with just one very large hill going in and out of the Kentucky river valley. The hill is steep really only on of side. the other does rise but over a few miles. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance
Steve
