Use an insulated backpack so you can absorb shocks with it, and also use it for your own grocery purchases.

Improves quality of life if you live in a bike friendly human sized area which will improve your emotional gains which will transfer to everything else. Most places aren't built like that though.

Buy a good bike. About $2k.
Lower than that is a dogshit money pit, and higher than that attracts niggers.

I've been riding a $100 road bike for 3 years now. Only needed to replace the break pads and an axle.

There’s a whole world of bikes between Walmart tier mongoose bullshit and bikes for 2000 fucking dolarrydoos.

yeah but the sweet spot for new is 1200-1800 nowadays.

if you're lucky you can get a great aluminium or carbon bike sub 1000, but depending where you are it can be meh, and if you don't know what you're doing e.g. OP asking a basic question then new is better.

REI is good cause the prices are fair and 1 yr return policy, you can return it in a month or 3 if you never use it.

Fine your right bike size, make sure the handlebars and seat are at your waist and get aluminium, carbon or hybrid of both - don't get steal, avoid an e-bike as it's overpriced bullshit, get a nice edurance bike like something similar to a cannondale synapse or trek 2100.

but what the fuck do I know, I just cycle for fun and can do century rides back to back :)

Where do you live that you have to spend so much?
I would pay more than 500 euros for a new bike, and the used market here is pretty great. I’m capable of basic maintenance so I’m not afraid of not buying some le hi-each durable bullshit,

I do agree on e-bikes, they’re for lazy retards.

Idk what those guys are talking about. I got a marlin for $700 and it's pretty decent for a mtb. bikesdirect.com has some cheap ass road bikes (though the selection is a little weird, half of them have mechanical brakes or flat bars)

I spent 700 on an ebike kit so I can stop paying 100 a week to full up my denali
