YV

I just want to spend a several hours a week to shed a few pounds. I visited couple stores in my area and they offered hybrid bikes made by Giant or Fuji. Also I saw bike on line made by Gazelle (Dutch compamy). I would appretiate any advise from experianced person who rides and or sell this tipe of bikes.
Thank you!

Answer
Buy the bike, not the brand name. Go to your local bike shop and tell them where and how you want to ride as well as how much you have to spend. The business is so competitive today that any two bikes at the same price point are very likely to be equivalent values. Let the bike shop match you up with the bike that best meets your needs. Then test ride the bike. Go to other bike shops and test what they have to offer. One bike will fit you and feel better than the others. You'll be able to tell that quickly after sitting on the bike and test riding for just a few minutes. Buy that bike regardless of the name on it. A properly fitting bike is a joy to ride.
