Cromyth Posted April 19, 2011 Content Count: 2942 Joined: 06/07/09 Status: Offline Share Posted April 19, 2011 So I'm thinking of riding my bike A LOT more. Unfortunately I want to ride a bike on the streets and quite frankly, I don't want to ride a mountain bike on the road for more than an hour since it just pisses me off. Does anyone know any good "street" bicycles that people ride in the major cities such as NYC, Toronto, etc? Medium price range would be preferred $100-200 Link to comment

I heard Trek are really good bikes for town/city riding. Should I look more for a road bike or a hybrid. I'm kinda torn between which one and the price gap between them is quite large as well.

trakaill Posted April 20, 2011 Content Count: 3736 Joined: 11/30/07 Status: Offline Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well a hybrid might be more comfortable so to speak as far as how the butt feels but I dont think they are as enjoyable.. definitely not fun over long distance a lot more drag and less efficient. Road bikes tend to have a skinnier and stiffer saddle which feels awkward at first but you have well padded road bike saddles like the one you see in the picture which I replaced with the max flite SELLE ITALIA: italian bike saddles, bicycle saddles Also will have a more aerodynamic frame and handlebar I love my bike but it cost a lot of money to pick it up semi seriously like I did. I strongly suggest trying to find a used one on craigslist. I think youd be better off with a low end trek or giant like mine rather than a new cheap piece of crap.. the ones I suggested before are new but not even close to the trek or giant quality Where in NY do you live I could look it up real quick on craigslist in your area? Ill try to post pictures of my bike now later Link to comment
