Bicycle Suggestion?
 
I'm looking to purchase a bike. I want it mostly for fitness, but also for riding to the store or to school.
I am lost and I don't know what type is right for me. I live in Florida, so it is relatively flat terrain. Also, I don't want to spend over $250.
Do bicycle shops have better deals compared to stores like Walmart and Target?
Suggestions??
Thank you!

Yes they do....the Walmart or target bike are.......well, OK, but not really the option I'd go with. You also develop a relationship with the Bike Shop and most of the time, get that first service tuneup as part of the purchase.

There is a world of difference between a $300 bike shop bike and a $100 Walmart bike.

some shops sell used, refurbished bikes for less than that... I'd call arouns and see if there are any like that in your area. that's what I did.
