Hello~

I hope it's okay to post some questions. Oh, and I'm really liking your forum!

I haven't been riding in about 12yrs now and when I did ride back then, I never knew all the bike options! I lost my bike back then in a divorce and so my fun became fast walking but recently I've stopped since we moved and now I'm adding on some weight.

We left Oahu (military fam) and are now stationed in Indiana. Talk about different scenery!
Well, I've picked up indoor cycling and am hooked! I wanted to get back to riding outdoors when we lived in Hawaii, but for some reason I stuck with walking. I'll admit that our military budget and 3 kids kind of helped with my decision there.lol

I've got a soon to be 3yr old home with me and I'm now looking for a bike to get out there!

Of course I'm needing to bring my little guy along with me and I know I want a road bike. I just don't know if there is anything more specific regarding bikes that I should look for with pulling a trailer?

I've got a little bit of time to really search for myself since the weather is still too cold to bring my toddler out riding. Thing is, I also don't have a whole lot of money either. I'd say I'd like to not really go over 400.00 on a bike if possible and then focus on other things I'd be needing to go along with it. (like helmet, gloves, etc.)

Is there anything more specific I should be looking for?

TIA!
