Beginner Bike For Old Man
This is a "which bike" question so maybe I should ask it in a different forum, but I think you need some age to understand the question completely.
I used to ride about 120 miles a week on a road bike, and I had a mountain bike also. I also had a few other types like comfort, hybrid, and maybe more. I am 77 now and about to buy a new bike. I won't bore you with the details but I went through a series of health issues and have not ridden for the last two years. I am ready to ride again but not on my current Trek Verve 2. I can ride it OK, but I can't get on or off safely due to a variety of leg and hip problems. I am going to trade in my Trek on a new bike, but I no longer am current on the latest makes, models and features of bikes.
I will be riding less than 10 miles a day and it will be at a slow pace. I know I need a small step thru bike and hope to find one in a color not blatantly girly, but the truth is I need a little girl bike. I have no desire to spend a lot of money on a bike that will see such limited use. I have been looking online and identified a few bikes that might do the trick for me. I would greatly appreciate any comments any of you may have on any of these bikes. They are:
1. Jamis Citizen
2. Jamis Allegro A3
3. Jamis Boss Cruiser 7
4. Sun Retro CB
5. Any other bike you might recommend.
Thank you for any help on this.
