Hey. I'm new
Hi everyone! I am just starting biking and am looking for support in my new endeavor. I am from Knoxville, Tennessee and have a mountain bike but am planning on switching to a road bike as soon as I can afford one. Where are you all from and what kind of bike do you have? Do you have any recommendations for a new road bike for a beginner? Thanks, in advance.

They go from about $450 to $10,000.
A decent bike would cost you about $1,000 minimum.
Give us some idea of your price range and we can give you suggestions.

Greetings and welcome to the forums! I ride a Rans Tailwind recumbent. I also have a Trek 1000 road bike but it hasn't been out of the garage since I got the recumbent. Cycling is an excellent way to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors. Have fun and be safe. There are a lot of people on the forum that can make recommendations when you are ready to make a purchase.

weclome to the boards!
I have a Diamondback Outlook, and have a Raleigh Talus on the way.
I thought I wanted a roadbike too...then realized the way a mountain bike felt was practically perfection...so MTB it is for me....
....now to get a second set of wheels for it to put slicks on....once i can afford to....
