It's better to make any choice at all even if it is a slightly wrong choice rather to sit on the sidelines your whole life paralyzed by the fear of making a wrong choice. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. We all do it.
I made a bad choice when I got my first bike, but I just sold it for a little less than I paid for it after 3 months and started riding another bike that suited me better.
+1 Its just a bike. Make a bad choice, sell it, buy another one. I did the same thing as above, bought a bike, three months later figured out I bought the wrong one, sold it, and bought the right one. Problem solved.
