What kind if bike should I get?

Question

I want to be able to ride for fitness and fun. I have a baby and I will be adding a seat, so should I get one with several speeds to choose from so that I can get my heart rate up even if I can't go fast? Any help would be great!

Answer 1

I agree that trailers are better than baby seats.

Go to your local bike shop and tell them where and how you want to ride and how much you have to spend for both the bike and the trailer. They will match you up with the bike that best meets your needs. Then, test ride the bike. Go to other shops and test ride what they have to offer. One bike will fit and feel better than the others. You'll be able to tell that very quickly after sitting in the seat and riding for just a few minutes. Get that bike. It is the one you will enjoy and use the most.

Answer 2

First off, if you are planning on taking the baby with you, you need a baby trailer, which attaches to the rear of the bike.  You don't want to have the baby up on the bike with you (too dangerous) Having to haul the baby trailer will get your heart rate up no matter what kind of bike you have.  Most bikes now come with anywhere from 21 speeds up, with the exception of beach cruisers and some comfort bikes meant for really casual riding.  Go to a few different bike stores in your area (not Sports Authority, Wal-Mart, or Target type stores; I mean REAL bike shops) and tell them what you are looking for.  They can show you different models that will suit you well.  I'd think you'd need a model with a low or angled top tube to make it easy to put your feet on the ground when stopping so that you don't fall over with the baby trailer attached, and one that has a lot of granny gears to accommodate the extra weight of the baby.  

good luck
