Oldie but Newbie
Happily retired. Rushing to have as much fun as I can before they put me in the dirt. I have a Service Dog that needs more exercise, not to mention, it might be good for me. Bike not yet acquired. Doing research on best options. 64 but moderately active. I want to enjoy this. If it isn't fun, I won't do it. Haven't ever had a bike that was more than $100. So looking at comfort bikes is causing sticker shock. Live in far western Georgia, right off I-20. I just want to enjoy riding around home, and using a local greenbelt.

Bremen. 12 mi north of Carrollton, and about 20 south of Cedartown.
trying to do enough research so I will find biking fun. It was fun when I was a kid. It was not fun 10 years ago on a Walmart special.
it is my hope that quality will recapture the fun.
