advice on new bike please!!!!!!!!!!!
hi I am new to this forum and new to serious biking. I have a very cheap 18 gear halfords ladies bike and I do like it but just done my first triathlon and couldn't go fast enoughon the flat on my bike to do a good time,evan though I was in top gear so I would like a new bike, Hybrid coz will do most of my cycling on road but may do a little soft off road as well, and don't fancy too thin a tyre. My question is if I get a lighter, spoty bike do I need more gears? Thanks in advance

So you want to go fast, but also want wider tires that you can go off-road on?
You don't mention what your budget is--giving us an estimate would help out a lot, especially if you don't have any models in mind currently that you want to check out.
