Question

Like the tour de france?which bike do i start with?

Answer 1

Do you mean what type of bike? There are lots of pros that started out in other disciplines. For example, Cadel Evans (2nd in the 2008 Tour) is a former mountain bike champion. There are also pros who started out in cyclocross and BMX. Basically, you can start anywhere.

Answer 2

you dont give much to go on.  i would say visit your local shop, and above all else, get a bike that fits.  if you read here very much you will notice this advice over and over.  even more important than weight or parts is how a bike fits you.  one that fits is comfortable for all the miles of training and racing.  it will allow you to do what you have to do to get in shape as painlessly and as strongly as possible.  my biggest advice for someone wanting to get into this sport is to learn about thier body and how a bike should fit them.  i see too many new riders riding with saddles too low and plodding along in gears much too large for them.  learn how to ride right from the start and who knows, maybe someday you'll be on TV racing.
