  |  Point me in the right direction...
Hello, I´m looking to follow in my father's footsteps and start riding. As he is no longer around, I am in need of some help trying to figure out where to start. Any advice will be warmly appreciated. I'm 27, 5'9 160lbs and looking for something safe to get to work and back in. I am hoping to find something that I will also be able to enjoy as my skills develop. I am hoping to be able to ride along PCH, Ortega and up to Arrowhead as well. Can anyone suggest some good bikes that I should research and consider? There are so many options online, and when I go to different bike dealers, I am concerned that they are more interested in fleecing the newbie than making a safe, appropriate sale. Also, are there any good skills classes for women? I attended one a few weeks ago and the innstructor seemed to think I was some sort of idiot with boobs and did not take me seriously. I wasn't too keen on being treated as a softie just because I'm a girl. Thanks! -Jen |
