I've decided to try cycling to boost my fitness. So I was wondering if any of the more experienced riders here could recommend a decent road bike?
When I first started looking around I thought that $500 would be plenty but now I relize that that amount isn't even scratching the surface. I would like a more middle of the road bike as I don't want to buy a starter bike and then 6 months from now have to try and sell it and spend a lot more money upgrading. I'm really thinking $1000 - $1200 is the absolute max.
I would be open to a good used bike but I really wouldn't know if I was buying a decent bike or spending money on junk.
The local bike shop sells mostly Trek and Giant bikes if that helps.
