New Guy to Road Bikes
Hello im Eric,
Im a 21 year old college student that has an interest of getting into road cycling. Last time I've road bikes was when I was around 12 or so. Im looking for a bike under $300. This would be an extra hobby for me to get out and ride around 20 miles a trip. I've done some research on which bikes I can afford and the ones that caught my eye are:
https://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Phocus...n%3A2988424011
https://www.amazon.com/Vilano-Aluminu...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
What are your tips or advice for me getting into road biking? Thanks.

Welcome to Bike Forums. Both of those bikes are only slightly better than an x-mart bike. Look thru these for a better entry level bike. —> BikesDirect
