Thanks everyone. To Fubar5, I'm looking to spend between $250 and $350 (CND). Is that alright for a good bike? And yes I do want to go to a bike store not a department store. To ljbike, I'm from Toronto Canada, the outskirts of Toronto. We have major streets and lots of traffic. But there are side streets and lovely neighbourhoods and parks. I'd like to start out on the side streets, maybe learn to ride with my daughter in the back. My ultimate goal is to be in a triathon
There is a program offered by Toronto Parks and Recreation called CANBIKE and they offer adult learn to ride courses. The instructors are trained and knowledgable in the area of bike and road safety and provincial laws and rights. I'm pretty excited about this and I'm determined to learn to ride. I want to be like you guys!!!!!!
Keep the info coming!
