How is anybody supposed to know what kind of bike would suit you best? We don't know if this is your first bike, or your first new bike this week. We don;''t know if you just rode a century, or think a century is a measure of time. We don't know if you are Cat 1 or Cat 6 ... or not even a cat ... maybe a kangaroo? A Koala? A Coloradan?

That matters because in Colorado you won't see any flat road, but in Flatahoma where I live, a driveway is considered a serious incline.

Are you twelve, twenty-seven, eleventy-one? Do you weigh half as much or twice as much is healthy for a person of your height?

I can recommend to anyone ... try biking if you think you'd like it. Beyond that, the quality and specificity of the response depends entirely on what the poster chooses to share.
