For awhile now I have contemplated riding and now I have finally decided to make the leap. But unfortunately.....I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE WHERE TO START!!!!
I want to a bike that can effectively handle most trails (not anything too crazy since I will probably break my neck if I attempted anything too nuts), but also one that I can ride in and around town.
I am on a budget, the technical aspects of mountain bikes might as well be in hieroglyphics and gears on a bike are a total mystery to me!
Can anyone recommend anything?
Plus, I am only 5'4" (don't choke on a chip while you laugh uncontrollably) so I am concerned about that too.
thanks in advance for any help.
