New bike

[LeetFidle]

Im deeply think on getting a new bike. the bike i have now is very old and i really need a new one. i mostly ride on the road and sidewalk. now im a little overweight and i dont think a road bike would be good for me(i tried my firends and his tires went down to the rim,mabey they were just flat) then my other option would be a trail bike. i havent tried these out but, what do you guys think is the best type or brand of bike? and what should i get.

My last bike was stolen You can't keep a bike in the city, it pretty much is guaranteed to get stolen, at least in Toronto.  So I recommend the cheapest bike you can find so no one will steal it

Is the concept of a "lock" foreign to you?

Anyway, I have a Schwinn, and it's worked just fine for several years now.

Get a second hand mountain bike.

Every bike I had was a mountain bike, they worked great everywhere cept really thick grass..

Yeah mountain bikes are the easiest to ride, and the most durable.

Get an old 2nd hand one really cheaply.

I prefer to ride BMX racing bikes I never sit down when I'm riding my bike unless I stop.

Uh...what's the farthest you've ever biked?  It's quite hard to stand the entire time for a ride of any decent length.

get a good seat for whatever bike you get, bmx bikes are especially hard on the ass.

A lock doesn't mean shit.  You could triple lock a bike and it wouldn't slow someone down for more than a minute.
