Whats cookin, good lookin?

I'm looking for a new hybrid bike too. You can never have too many bikes. You'll really feel the difference on the roads when you make the switch from a mountain bike. It'll be smooth sailing...and you might not miss your class.

Haha you have the same philosophy as my dad did when he was around - the more bikes the better!

Yeah, but I think any bike would feel like smooth sailing compared to my hunk o junk...but that's not why I was late xD! It was because my TB test and my class both started at noon.

A wise man once advised me that the bicycle is a superior form of human transportation. Your huffy lasted you ten years thats more than the average motor vehicle lasts with one owner, purchase a quality bike this time and commit to using it.

Well it does have its benefits - health, enjoyment, traffic, etc., but energy is debatable. I forget where I read it, but I read that if meat is a large part of your diet, then biking actually uses more fuel than a car (through killing/transporting/etc the animal). If you don't eat meat, its actually more energy efficient than walking!

I will get a quality bike, and I already commit to using it xD! Just got to save up money...


Also: when I do get a new one, any ideas how to get rid of my old bike? Broken, 10 years old, and $50 at new, selling doesn't seem too viable.

There are usually engineers around that will collect it and reuse the parts to build other bikes, they may not give you anything for it though.

I need a bike as well. I have about $140 (well I did until I spent some money at Baskin Robbins and at a liquor store...I wanted some apple pucker ) right now, my dad said I need to save up for a bike or a car...but I have a fear of driving so a bike it is...even though I haven't used one in like 10 years so I don't quite remember how to balance on it...I need the weight loss anyway and it's starting to cool down so I'm considering one.

Cycling is my main form of exercise. It's a great way to lose weight, just push some longer rides and you'll notice a difference. With a mountain bike you'll get a better workout as they are generally less efficient than road/hybrid bikes, but you can obviously go further in less time on a faster road bike.
