Hello,
I'm a fairly healthy 66 years old. I'm 6'2" 250 pounds- recently lost over 20 so yay...want to exercise and lose more :-)
My last bike had a 3 speed Sturmey Archer Hub - just to give you an idea how long it's been.
I'd like to ride again...bike paths and level trails. I live in Littleton Colorado. There are nearby paths and other nice options.
I've been studying, went out to three LBS today and came home no more informed than when I left.
The shops I visited provided little help other than - "look over there". Well, Bicycle Village was pretty helpful but it was this or that Trek at +- $650.
I don't want 27 speeds..7 or 8 would be fine. I think I'd like a Dual Sport for a more comfortable ride but I still don't know what frame
size I should be looking for. At one shop when I asked about size the guy said "this one is a 70 and that one is 27.5". Seriously.
Anyway - while right now all I can afford is a straight up bike I'd like it to be something to which I can add an Ebike Kit as I do have Geezer Knees.
So...where to begin?
Thanks!!
Lew
