Dya have example links so that peeps can see the prices/features for example? Might get one meself.
It wasnt the cheapest but you should have a look at this website the prices you can get on there are ridiculous and you can get a frame very similar to a hard rock for cheap. I put together a bike for my bro on the website and it worked out real cheap compared to buying it new.
The shipping is real fast as well

If you decide you wanna go with a bike, now you're gonna face some serious decisions:
road bike: you want to travel aerodynamically and fast on the road exclusively but lacking in creature comfort
mountain bike: off road but with the ability to ride on the road with different tires. Goes way slower but more upright and comfortable
hybrid: the ability to go on the road or offroad, but neither very well. Sit up straight and comfortably.
I would say NBS' bike is more of a mountain bike with road tires than a hybrid bike as they typically do not have as much fork travel and have cushier seats.

your correct my friend. I was in the position where I didnt know what to buy and Im so glad i went for what I did. The good thing about mine is with either set of tyres on it I can get to work faster than I can by car. 10 minutes faster! I jump curbs etc.
I was considering if I could be a bike courier!
The touring variety is designed more for comfort and load carrying (e.g. bigger tires, mounts for racks and fenders) than the racing variety. However, the touring variety is less common. Many lower end road bicycles are somewhat in-between.
looks like some bike enthusiasts 
Id only mainly be riding on the road, probably head out sunset for a good ride and workout. the hill my house is located is as steep as it can get !
I had a look at a bike before and think it was a malvern star, looked pretty stylish and seemed as though suitable.

Look for a road bicycle with three chainwheels on the front.
If you go for a hybrid bicycle, most of them have three chainwheels on the front.
I've ridden 20,000 miles over the years and never had anything thrown at me. But, here in the US, everyone packs a handgun and maybe the 15yo punks are afraid I'll pull a nine out of my back and waste his sorry azz! I dunno..
I wouldn't necessarily discount stationary bikes. Have you ever attended a spin class? It's pretty amazing the workout you can get from a good instructor who knows how to work different muscle groups. That being said, I prefer riding outside for sure, although winter in Montana makes it difficult to ride outside
Also remember that cycling for the sake of riding may not get you anywhere. Ask around for different cycling workouts, or try something like . You can ride all you want for hours on end, but without any real goal you may not accomplish what you want.
If you're stuck wondering what to do during the winter , try some . Very good exercise.
