What is the best bike for me?

I would like to start bike riding to shed some baby weight what are the best bike trailer/bike combos?

  • i need a bike and want to buy a bike trailer, what type of bike should be used?

  • Answer:

    - how much do you want to/can you spend? - what kind of trailer - cargo or kid? - how long and where do you want to ride (urban/country, flat/hilly/mountainous)? - commuting or sports/training? - what's your weight - and do you do any kind of sports? - are you fixed on a bike/trailer combo, or would a (two or three wheeled) bakfiets be a practical alternative? Unless you want to lay down at least 4k$/€, there's no sense in talking about 'best'. You can start thinking about 'good' (enough for everyday use) with 2k$/€ and either the willingness to learn basic maintenance or a friendly LBS within reach. As a short guide to what I'd consider best (I'll just throw in a few buzzwords, use google or come back here if you want to know more): - steel frame, touring geometry, Rohloff dropouts - Rohloff internal geared rear hub - SON front hub generator - Edelux front bike light, b&m rear light - Magura hydraulic disc brakes - disc brake rims, Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires in 26x2.00, DD stainless spokes - Brooks leather saddle - closed chain box, e.g. Hebie Chainglider That'll cut down the yearly maintenance to the gear oil change and regular inspection (and occasional exchange) of brake pads and chain. - Weber hitch - brand trailer - for kids, Chariot or Croozer, for cargo, Roland or Carry Freedom

i would definitely look at an electric mountain bike- check out http://www.chargedelectricscooters.com, and then look at the mountain bikes- they would handle a standard trailer. The e-bike would allow you to ride when you get tired and then your baby and you can get home safely. The power assist is a great feature you pedal and the power kicks in- it gives you extra boost that you might need until you increase your training. Don't overdo it at the beginning- an e-bike can help you get started.

The best bike is the one designed for where you want to ride. I would visit the local bike shops and look at the comfort and hybrid bikes. On the trailer I would look for a good used one on the local ebay or craig's list. Trailers don't get used much and are usually in good shape.

If you're trying to shed some baby weight, you should leave the baby and trailer at home.

Any bike would work. Depending how much riding you want to do should determine your bike type.
