I used to ride bikes all the time, everywhere. But I never had a dedicated road bike, only bmx and mountain, and now a lowrider. I want to start riding again, for exercise and enjoyment. So anyone have any experience with the current market in road bikes? I don't want to spend over $300, just because it's not worth it to me to have an all out race bike just to ride for furn.

I've been a fan of Specialized bikes for a while now, but I think their cheapest road bike is $400+.



Go check out Trek, Specialized, GT, and other name brands with entry level bikes and see which one feels best.

$400 isn't sounding too bad, now that I've done a little internet shopping. Holy ****, I remember when a bike for $200 seemed like a lot to me. Now it's easy to spend $2,000! I think I'll go do some test drives, and I might find a nice used one. The things last forever, and are easy to bring back from the dead!

I'd like to get an Autobike and put an engine on it. Having the clicker up in the pedals is a good feature for this.
