I recently bought a road bike; absolutely love it. I have wanted one for years but never wanted to take the ~$3k (all in with shoes, clothes, etc) plunge. Finally did it and I can’t recommend it enough if anyone else is thinking about it. It feels like the opposite of quarantine each time I go out.

Agreed. Peloton loyalists will never understand this.

I did this too during quarantine! It’s amazing. Bought a high quality hybrid so cheaper than a pure road bike but GREAT for road and paved trails.

I’m only going to begin biking and am thinking of a commuter bike. Do you have any recommendations for that? My budget for the bike alone is ~$600

I’m actually digging out and cleaning up my Trek road bike which is 30 yrs old . Are you riding on the street Op or terrain ?

Great thanks

Another idea. Look into getting a gravel bike. They do well on the road/street/paved trails and you can also hit some dirt trails. I think they are the best all-rounder bike for most biking purposes.
