I know you hippie scum love to bike on hipster bikes. So reco something under $500. Not a mountain bike or a racing bike. Something kind of cool, hipster and easy to do. :MARIS61:
I bike recreationally to the beach. just leisurely biking, nothing serious. not going uphill. i might get the single speed version.
test ride a road bike and a cruiser bike and make your decision. Most good bike shops should let you test ride them.
Speaking of bikes. Someone down here in Houston had a swing bike they were riding. Anyone else old enough to remember those? I had one as a kid, and loved it. It looked new, so I am not sure if they are coming back into style, or he made or modified it

That black Trek was only $399. Not bad. Look, I'm not a super biker man. I'm not going biking 50 miles, I'm biking down to the beach and along the boardwalk on the weekends this summer, that's all really. something smooth, easy and comfortable.
wonder if i can sell my old trek for a few hundred bucks.kind of shitty shape i left it outside alot.
