I am overweight and want to start riding with my husband as part of my workout. Although we plan to ride in the street, on the boardwalk, and in the park I believe we will mainly be using the boardwalk because it goes for 3-5 miles approx along the coast.
Also when we first start out we will be riding for about 30 -45 minutes then riding longer and farther as I build up my endurance.
Would a hybrid bike be a good fit for me riding in these places (the boardwalk especially) and for that length of time? Also what are some good hybrid bikes that aren't too expensive? I am just starting out with limited funds.
Thank you.

A hybrid would be a great choice, and if you get one with 700c wheels rather than 26 inch, you'll be able to fit narrower tyres as you increase your mileage.
I have 2 Giant bikes, and I've had no problems with either of them. Get the best bike you can afford, and it'll be a much better buy. Try local cycle shops, and if they're prepared to help you select a bike, then they'll probably look after you with after sales support.
Have fun, and I hope this helps

Schwinn hybrid bikes?

Hi,
Does anyone know the reliability or quality of Schwinn hybrid bikes like the 2007 Voyageur or Voyageur GS-or is Trek, or another brand more worth it for the casual (bike the path or to work) kind of guy.
Thanks,
Alex

The Schwinn bikes I've seen recently have been on sale at Target. The bikes might be okay enough for a casual rider, but I would be very cautious about buying from a store like Target, where the assembly of the bike may not be done by a real bike mechanic. Also, you won't get any service on your bike there. Many real bike shops won't work on "department store" bicycles because the quality of the components (the real crux of a decent bike) is pretty bad. If you buy a bike from a bicycle shop with an real repair center and certified bicycle mechanics, they often will provide some free service for a certain length of time... often, a bike needs "tweaking" of the brakes and the like after the first few rides. Good luck!
