Insane

Alright well I've decided I'm sick of always driving my car everywhere and I need to strengthen my knee so I want a bike. I'm thinking of a road bike but am open to other options. I've never really had a bike other than the one I learned on so I"m pretty clueless. I'm about 6feet and 150lbs so I guess I need help with sizing. I'm willing to spend a decent amount of money on a good bike. I don't think I'm cool enough for a fixie but I'd consider a single speed. So bike owners of NS help me out.

No Life

Haha yea unbiased is always good.....

also, if you wanna commute with it, idk how much they are but my friend back in the high school days had a motor attached to his bike, and it would get something like 95 miles on one gallon and went about 18 mph (and he had it attached to an older road bike) that could be an option if its not too much, but i have no idea how much they are

Just to share my experience and maybe you can take it as a recommendation too!
I love my new SE Big Mountain Bike.

Features are follows:

Carbon Fiber Bicycle
Full Suspension

Works great on pavement and I've taken it on a few easy mountain bike trails. Had this bike put together by a professional. He had never even heard of this brand. He said it was meant for Europe as the brakes were reversed. Was impressed with the quality, so am I, GREAT BIKE!
