Budget is $500 max. Tips? Was looking at Apollo bikes, they have a few, what other brands?

Giant Upland SE?
My missus bought a 2007 model for a little over $400 I think

My mrs has the same bike as above, does the trick nicely.

Nice nice. The best way to get a ride in is drag the mrs along with you. : )

Here is mine, I bought it because it is made of carbon fibre so figured it would easier to ride somehow because it is light, but then once I rode it I came to the harsh realisation that if you are unfit like I am it doesn't matter how flash the bike is. it's still a bitch to go up hills

you seriously don't want a dualie for commuting/fitness purposes. pedal induced bobbing throws a heap of pedaling efficiency out the window - probably why you're finding it so hard.. haha

I got myself one of these a few weeks ago, great bike come with a heap of extras also.

rexhunta · #**109** 08-05-2010, 06:10 PM

That the one that comes with the full rack for the back, and additions ? Or am I thinking of the Surly ?
