I’m primarily a runner who has gotten into cycling recently for fun, mostly for commuting but doing some weekend 2-3 hr rides. My current bike was pretty old (used) and isn’t cutting it anymore (it is also too big) and I’m looking to get a new bike that will carry me through tri training next year. I’ve been to Landry’s on Commonwealth for a fitting before and had a good experience, but I really want to make sure I get a bike that fits me and is comfortable and am not too knowledgeable about which bike shops are the best. Price range would be ~3k or below. Thanks!

Edit: I bought my original bike at Cambridge Used Bicyles and pretty much felt like I got sold my current bike to make a sale, it is way too big so anyone else seeing this thread, wouldn’t really recommend that one at least🫠

I am currently aquajogging to recover from stress fractures and have a Speedo Aquajogging belt. I have to put it super tight to make sure it doesn’t ride up significantly on me in the water. It still is riding up slightly. The Aquajogger brand belts are all sold out, but I see the Classic on ebay. Anybody have recs for floatation belts that work on more petite women? Thank you!!
