 |  Subject: affordable bike for both on the road and light trails? Mon 13 Dec 2010 - 12:12 | |
| Visit a few bike shops and you should be able to find a good bike for under $400..maybe under $300 if you can find a used model/tradein. Skip the disc brakes on cheaper bikes, they are nothing but trouble and added weight. I used my mountain bike for just what you describe for years. I did ride a lot of off-road, but that was before I really got into mountain biking, so it wasnt much more that leisure riding, not real 'mountain biking' down wicked paths, etc. I rode on some Bontrager Comfort B 26"x1.95 tires as a compromise; they have a smoothe center tread, and some knobs on the shoulders to help you corner in the dirt. Eventually I bought a complete second set of wheels and put some 1.5" slicks on them for road, and put some 'real' mountain bike knobbies on the other set of wheels so I could switch easily. ________________ best-muscle-building-programs | |
