hey everyone. I'm new to this forum and new to bike riding. I've always owned and love riding bikes but never got to into it for exercise until the end of last summer. but I've always owned a walmart bike. i tried to get the best ones there usually in the 250 range. but this year i went to go buy a new bike from up at walmart that was in that range, but i kept having issues with ever bike i bought. i went thru 3 bikes returning all of them until i finally told my wife im going to buy a bike i actually want and i got my first giant bike. i got the giant escape 2 city disc bike and ive only got to ride it once b/c its still freezing out. but i cant wait to finally ride and hoping to meet other to ride with.
