Hi Everyone
I am new to cycling. I just suddenly had interest in biking. Now that it's summer, I figured its a great time to learn a new sport while hitting the great outdoors. I have been doing some research on what kind of bike to buy and honestly I am overwhelmed.
I will be using the bike for two main purposes. First, casually strolling through my neighbourhood on either roads/pavements, such as going to the nearest grocery store.
Secondly, it will be for hiking trails in parks and in the woods but mostly on once a day on the weekend. Nothing crazy, just biking on trails through the woods/parks.
I see mountain bike as the most recommended for trails but will it also be good casual biking on pavements/roads?
I want something that is comfortable and easy to bike.
I plan to buy a used bike. How do I know beforehand that the bike will be a good fit for me based on the seat height, width etc? Do bikes come in sizes like S,M, L?
What are some things I should be looking for?
Thank you.
I also found this old bike in my garage. Does it look any good to you? What kind of bike is this?
