new newbie

Hi, all. I am new to this forum and to biking, except the Huffy I had as a kid.

I am looking into buying a bike and starting to ride for fitness and leisure reasons. My intention is get a bike I can use to commute to work with and also take on rides with my better half.

Hello mgburski, a lot of members from Utah here! You should visit the regional forums and say hello to the Utahns.

What's your budget? Type of riding (other than commuting--how far?)?

Welcome to BF!

Ask around on the Commuting forum. Many folks use the same bike for commuting and weekend rides.
