First bike in 25 years! Help!
So the last time I bought a bike was when I was in high school and from a big box store. Never really did anything crazy in terms of off road/trail/gravel, maybe some beginner to intermediate stuff.
I’m now into my late 30s and have a 2yr old id like to take on biking. Looking to add one of those seats between me and the handlebars, front facing and to have his feet strapped in.
Would be doing a mix of road, bike paths, and light trails.
My brother in law recommended the Trek Marlin as a hybrid bike.
Things to know, I’m not an avid biker by any means but would like to start going out on the weekends or for a quick ride after work with my son to get some fresh air.
If it matters, I’m approx 5’10 and based out of Toronto Canada. Budget is $700-$1000.
Planning to visit a LBS to speak to some owners and find other recos but thought I’d start here. Thanks in advance!
