Hi all,

I randomly woke up today and want to start biking. Mid life crisis I guess lol. I’ve been looking at options online but I’m confused with all the brands. One brand sticks keeps getting mentioned, TREK. How do I get a bike that’s not over $500 but comfortable. I am not sure if I want hybrid, road or trail. I just know I want to start riding.
I remember sitting on my friends bike one time, the saddle wasn’t the best for me. Is there a way I can look out for that as well? I’m also guessing I would need a helmet. Thank you all for this community, I just found y’all and I love it already.
