I posted about getting a bike on there once and was turned off by it almost immediately because I said, "I have less than $300.00 to spend - any advice on getting something used/where to look."

I had a bunch of guys say it was useless and if I wanted to get serious, I needed to do xyz. Note, that I hadn't ridden a bike seriously since high school and had no idea I would take to it like this. I live to bike, but back in April, not so much haha!

I don't mind snark. I am on a horse forum where it is snarky as you can be, but I don't like people who belittle you for trying to LEARN.

I love to learn and I would hope that if I asked a question nicely, someone wouldn't bite my head off.
