So, with all the new bike lanes and a new found appreciation for the city pathways along the river, I've decided I want to get a bike. I haven't had one since I was a kid.
Any recommendations? I want some thing that is good for roads, pathways, maybe going into fish creek once in a while. I've read a little bit about hybrid bikes, are those good multi purpose bikes?
Are bikes from SportChek or Canadian tire ok for this type of thing, or better to stay away from those?
Can I get something decent for around $500 or less? I don't really want to spend a lot as I'm not sure how serious I'll get about it, just something to try for the summer.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
