[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 451559, member: 29166"] When I turned fifty, a couple years ago, I decided to "celebrate" by getting a bike and doing RAGBRAI. I was and still am in shape, but the bike I chose was a bit heavy for that much (471 miles) riding up and down hills and into the wind. I now use a Giant Escape and it's a lighter, better bike all around, and sells new for around your price limit. You can get a used bike but if you do, buy it from a reputable bike shop and have it checked and tuned-up if it isn't already. Road bikes aren't for everyone. [/QUOTE]
