Just bought a bike!

I want to get more active since I have a few pounds to lose. Right now, im about 60 pounds over weight.

I loved biking when I was in grade school/high school. So I figured I would buy one for when spring comes. I hope to lose about 15-20 pounds over the winter.

That way when spring hits, I can hit the road with the new bike.

I bought a CHEAP one online. $319 delivered! But looking at it and reading online reviews it seems to be a solid "starter" bike. And for the price, it seems to have ok equipment on it.

I got a Motobcane 450HT. 19.5inch.

Once I wear this bike out or get tired of it, and I get a fuller understanding of what equipment/parts I would want and why I would want them, I would have no problem on dropping a grand or two on a proper rig.

Now I just have to hit my VW dealership to get the roof rack/bike mount. Then I will be set.

Thanks everyone! I can't wait for it to get here. Hoping I might get a week or two before it get's REALLY cold.

I bought a Motobecane road bike online in 2005. I have been riding it since then and enjoy it.

Hope it works out for you.....

Just ordered the VW OEM roof rack and bike mount.

Got 25% off through a good dealer!

Philly is a pretty good city for biking (well, at least the 2-3 mile radius around center city), get some cold weather gear and get out there.
