I’m in the market for a new ladies bike but have never purchased one before. I was curious if anyone had recommendations. A little background info
-I’m 6 feet tall and weigh about 170. Athletic build.
-I’d like to use the bike for leisure and maybe some road biking. Nothing competitive. I’m guessing a hybrid is the way to go but not sure.
-I have no brand loyalty. Just want something that is solid, reliable, somewhat stylish, and minimal/moderate maintenance.
-I don’t want a super cheap bike nor do I need something crazy expensive. Was thinking in the 200-600 range.
-I’d like something with a comfy seat, although I’m guessing that can be added to any bike.
-Live in the mid Atlantic so would bike in 3 seasons (hopefully).
In terms of recs, I would be interested in bike type, company, material (aluminum vs steel), etc…
