Hi all,
going to start cycling to work for first time in yokohama 12km one way as a way to get fitter and spending more time outside than in. Im a total beginner to cycling (well i can ride a bike but thats it).
My budget is limited at 60,000 yen which is I know is low. Im wondering what are some good options at this price range either new or second hand.
Im not looking for bells and whistles but i dont want a piece of junk whose gears jam constantly etc. If this budget isnt feasible then perhaps i could just get some cheap BSO for now and save up for something maybe in the 90,000 range if my new hobby takes off.
Bike wise i think a road bike, cyclocross would suit me well although they could be overkill for my needs. Ill be sticking to tarmac and wont be doing any trails etc. There might be the odd cheeky curb hopping now and again.
Im 6ft, 74kg.
Can anyone give me any recommendations on brands that might be available at this price range.
