new to the forum and new to bikes

Hello

I am new here and new to biking. I am 27 and until recently had not sat on a bike since I was 12 lol. But I started riding again and while shaking off the rust have falling in love with biking.

Right now my wife and I have a Schwinn 7 speed that needs fixing up (will post about that in another thread). But I wanted to ask what type of bike is best for a beginning rider? single speed? Like I said I've not sat on a bike in 16 years so its like I am learning all over again.


thanks

Mike

Welcome, Mike.
What bike depends on what you want to do. Learning to ride geared bikes is not difficult.
