Hi everyone!

This is such a great site! I've been surfing around men sites for too long!

Ok, here is the reason for this post -

I hadn't ridden a bike for a long time for more than a couple miles down the road. The bike I have right now is an Eddie Bower I got at a garage sale for $20 :-P (ok, that may shock some people here lol)

Then I met a guy who likes biking and we have been all over the place - started with 30 miles (got lost, it was unintentional) and progressed from there. Our longest ride so far was 70 miles but we are thinking of doubling that before long.

Which comes to this - I NEED A NEW BIKE! Desperately!

We don't race, so speed is not the issue here. However, I live in FL where there are lots of sandy paths and trails and my thin tires cannot handle them. We have also done some light mountain biking paths along the way... so I was thinking either a mountain bike or a hybrid?

Could anyone make some suggestions on what to get? I have seen so many nice looking bikes but I have no idea what is the best (and most reasonably priced) option for the kind of cycling I do.

Thanks!
