Ok, I'm a 17 year old girl and am looking at buying a bike, but I have no idea where to start! I am trying to get fit and will be using it to go on long bike rides on country roads but also through town. I would like it to be relatively comfortable and not ugly or anything haha, also where would be the best place to buy it from? I live in the UK. Thanks :)

Slightly different question - same answer as many times in the past. Want to know a good place to start? Your authorized, independent, knowledgeable, friendly, local BICYCLE shop. Not Halfords or Tesco, etc. A REAL bicycle shop.
Buy a bicycle based upon "where & how" you will be riding. What you NEED the bike to do for you. Another place to start is by reading these articles...

It's a "dad" thing. My son and I successfully completed the Team Oregon Program for motorcycle endorsements. We are currently searching for used motorcycles, two please. I find that the world of cycling has drastically changed. I used to ride a 650 BSA and 650 Triumph, when the clutches were dry plates. Yeah, yeah ..... but my son is only 17. Now, I find we have labels for us. I am a "duo-sport" type. I just ride, and when I see something, I turn off road and go investigate. My son, is a "street bike" kind of guy. We think bikes of 650 cc plus are what we want. I have been looking at the single cylinder KLM 650. I don't know if the "one lunger" is good for all day riding. My son has looked at some 500's that need repairs. We are "strapped for cash" the ex-wife has all of it. Hence, we need help in locating some motorcycles that are in good shape, and very reasonably priced. I've looked from time to time on Craig's list, and othersl; looked in local papers and shopping guides

Have you considered buying from a car dealership that also sells motorcycles, they mainly sell cars so they are more flexible in dealing with their prices. Beside this, they want to break into the bike sales business and want your referral. They also have their bikes on consignment so it costs them more to keep them on their floor. They also have more financing options to deal with, so the easier chance of getting approved. I would also keep an eye on your local Auto Trader even a deal that doesn't look like a good price can be negotiated if the buyer is strapped for cash and looking for a fast sell. You can also check with your local motorcycle dealers, they have people who want to trade in bikes but the dealer won't accept them because the resale is not there. Often times if you speak to the sales person, you can give your name and phone # and what type bike you are looking for, they can give you referrals. You can also put your information up on the bulletin boards at your local grocery store, you may find somebody that has a bike just sitting in the garage waiting for an offer. Good luck in your search, perseverance will pay off in the end.
