Need help choosing a cycle for daily riding + long rides (India)
Height: 184 cmWeight: 80 kg
Current fitness:
Regular gym training
Doing cardio already (walking/running).
Trying to improve overall conditioning and become more athletic
Reason I want to start cycling:I want to add variety to my cardio routine instead of depending only on running. Cycling seems easier to recover from, lower impact on joints, and helps diversify cardio so injury/risk/fatigue is spread out instead of stressing the body the same way every time.
I want a cycle mainly for:
daily riding/fitness
improving endurance and conditioning
occasional long rides up to 100 km
Looking for:
best value for money
reliable and low maintenance
comfortable for long rides
available/serviceable in India
budget-friendly if possible
Would appreciate:
Best type of bike for my use case
Best frame size for my height
Brands/models you’d personally recommend
Things I should avoid as a beginner
Thanks.
