I was thinking about getting a bmx/single gear for commuting (too far to walk in a rush/the rain, but not really far enough to warrant the car), but as I've just moved back to Wales (a lot hillier than england), a mountain bike is probably what I'll go for. I used to use my brother's one a fair bit, but as he has left home, I no longer have the use of it. It was a half decent front suspension one and I'm looking for something similar. |

ceri jc - dont rule out road bikes - they are faster than mountain bikes and can be cheaper depending on your priorities |

Go for the middle ground and buy a cross bike. Not very good if you happen to croos a lot kerbs, but deffinately not as bad as road ones and much better suited for asphalt than mountain-bikes. |

When my mate said to me "hey, i can get you a "new" *wink wink* bike for next to nothing i nearly killed him. I may as well just meet the seller and give him 50 quid and a pat on the back and let him keep the bike. duh |

oh.. and there's nothing like a lady who likes a good cycle. We KNOW its not just a means of transport for the shefolks. *Rubs pants (an ex verified this for me once and i i can never look at a chick on a bike the same) |

Being 14 stone, racers/road bikes tend not like me bouncing them off kerbs etc. Now I'm back in Wales, the bike would be purely for recreation and I mainly downhill/offroad through woodland, so I can't imagine a racer standing up to the beating I'd give it :) |

In LA, riding a bike can get you killed, so bike riding is strictly recreational for most people. However, since my car decided to take a shit, I've been riding around town here and there where taking the bus is impractical. I actually cant remember what brand of bike I have, possibly a Diamondback. |
