Hi all, I'm wanting to start getting into cycling but don't really know where to start with buying a bike.
Mostly will be used for road rides, for fitness but I don't really see myself doing super long rides just yet. I'm pretty tall 5'10" so I'm not too sure if a women's bike would be a good fit or if I would be better off on a men's. Any recommendations on specific bikes or brands to take a look at would be appreciated!
Thanks 🙂

"Just for fitness"
"Maybe commute a bit"
and then I have to dodge, you fine lot, in the cycle path, whilst you go all over it with 5km/h, with your shinny new gear... [IMG]files.cyclingforums.combig smile.pngOpen ↗[/IMG]

Anyway:
If you use the bike on the road you will eventually end up with a road bike.
A cyclocross bike (non racing grade) it's good for commuting.
It all depends, you want an Alu, Cro-mo (more expensive, lasts more under normal use), Carbon (even more expensive, lasts but apparently fails catastrophically without notice), Titanium???
It is best to buy the bike from a professional store. I definitely think there can be nothing better than seeking a professionals advice.
