Bicycle Attachment

Bicycles for exercise, what are good brands & styles?

As an attempt to lose weight I have decided that DF and I are going to purchase bicycles and bike the long open roads in our town.

1. Your Budget?
Since u probably wont answer in time, I’m going to assume the usual reasonable range of 400 – 700CAD for a NEW bicycle which is the easiest, wisest recommendation.

2. In N. America, Giant(Taiwan), Norco(Canada-based), Specialized(US) and Trek(US) (alphabtcal ordr) are indeed the major, excellent, reputable brands for your needs. On paper, overall, Giant will probably have the best value.

3. Yes, there are “fitness bikes” aka “performance-hybrids”:
Giant FCR series: FCR 3 500CAD
Norco VFR series: VFR 5 or 6 same price point.
Specialized Sirrus series: Sirrus, Sirrus Sport(?)
Trek FX series: 7.1, 7.2

However, you may just need/want a “normal” more comfort-oriented Hybrid:
Giant Cypress R: 400CAD, Cypress w suspension closer to 500CAD
Trek 7100: same price point.

All above bicycles are child seat, rack and fender compatible.

“buy a bike that appeals to you. one that will make you want to ride and just get out there.” – neruegel1
I agree! Dont b afraid to have colour/style/the way it looks be a factor. It cannot b easily changed so pick one that you personally “like”!

Buy from a reputable independent bicycle dealer (w a goodmechanic) that you personally trust and “like” bc you’ll likely b dealing w them long-term.

Have fun shopping and riding!

PS what’s “DF”? I personally ride a 2007 Norco VFR 5 by choice, as a daily performance city bike.
