haha my brother have a road bike and i have a hybrid bike, i prefer hybrid as its more comfortable to cruise around downtown. i am planning to get a road bike this year, but not sure what to choose.

what bike do you have?

road bike can get real dangerous, my little brother crashed into a dumpster, knocked 3 teeth out, had to have jaw surgery. don't feel safe with road bike's ****ty brakes.

WOW crashed into a dumpster..... crazy!!!

yeah the brakes is kinda scary on road bikes specially when you are going downhill like 60km/hr

I did 60+km/hr at stanley park from top of hill going down.... hehe =)

I am a beginner so didn't buy a crazy expensive bike, at first I didn't know if I like road bike so I spend around $1200 on my first road bike!

I got a 2011 Giant TCR1 - is a beginner road bike

nice bike!
I am looking into getting a beginner commuter bike. hybrid most likely...
I went to Bike Dr. last weekend but I am not sure if I am ready to buy yet...
Any suggestion for hybrid? (brand and model) I want something light but not crazy expensive... I think I will also look on craigslist as well. But I really don't want to get a stolen bike.
I don't think I am brave enough ever to ride road bikes...

If you are looking for cheap bikes, keep an eye out for the police bike auctions. There are literally hundreds of bikes available from there. But you want to do your homework and have a general idea of how much different models costs, or you're gonna end up paying too much in the midst of bidding (or you might end up not getting a bike).

Few of my friends do road biking and they formed a group. The whole group is Vancouver Chinese (Cantonese). They have regular ride on Wed and Weekend. I could forward you more info if you want.

One of my friend did the "Ride to Conquer Cancer" for the last 2 years and this year he managed to raise $12k.

Seen lots of those around Stanley Park and English Bay. I am sure there is a bike rental for this kind of bike there.

Get a hybrid! like a Trek Mendota, make sure to ask the bike shop to do a fitting for you though, or else will be very hard to bike.

Trek Mendoat looks great!! but I can't afford > $1000 bike.

I will go to a few bike shops in the next few weeks. Hopefully, they still have something for my size in stock (and on sale!!)

I got a helmet

and will try out my friend's mountain bike (on flat road) this weekend.

作者: sheep 時間: 2011-9-15 08:55
