Default Re: Getting into Biking

All the big brands giant/specialized/trek etc are going to have good entry level 1000 dollar bikes. they are all pretty much the same IMO so go with whatever your local bike shop sells. That way they can help you with sizing and you get things like free tune ups for a year.

Your butt will get sore for awhile but you will get over it.

Do not save money on the lycra padded shorts. I had cheap ones for along time and didnt know what I was missing out on until i bought some really nice ones. It makes a huge difference.

I personally dont like biking jerseys either. I like to get sleeveless dry fit nike shirts. they are looser and look less gay.


I am also paranoid about going impotent so I got one of those seats that is split to relieve pressure.
