Hi everyone, im new to this forum. I joined because I want to start a new hobby and that is biking. I want to know more about biking, the pro's and con's of it and what is the best build bike for me. I want to share my life with my passion. I hope we will get along. Thanks!

I think that more team estrogen members could help you out if you have a budget in mind and if you can let us know whether you prefer road biking or mountain biking. Also, giving us your height and weigth might help also.

I kinda regret getting a hybrid when I first started because I did not know whether or not I liked road or mountain biking. Hybrids are not great for MTB due to the smoother, narrower tires and not great for road biking due to the weight. Currently, I am saving up for a MTB. On the plus saide, my hybrid makes me greatly appreciate how much better my road bike is.

Welcome to TE, and welcome to the wonderful world of cycling.

First, what kind of riding do you want to do? Long road rides? Paved bike paths? Unpaved ones? Mountain biking? Errands? Can't decide? Do you see yourself ever wanting to race? A budget, your height and inseam might be good too.
