I'm looking to get in shape and do some cardio. Due to the wonderus effects of a car wreck, I have no right ankle anymore. So, running is out of the question. I used to ride race a little bmx when I was a kid, but I'm closer to 40 than 35 these days.
Anyway, I'm way out of the loop (not sure I was ever in) but I'm looking to purchase a mountain bike. Some friends and I are looking to start riding and we have some great trails around home.
So, I'm in the market for a bike. Mostly trail riding, maybe some road riding. However, I don't even know what features to look for. I want to push myself and ride some hills and trails to build my cardio. I want to take my time and do some research and buy a decent bike, no Wal-Mart stuff but a decent bike.
I don't have a problem spending $1,000 if this will get a decent bike, then if after a while I want to upgrade I can.
Please help me in telling me what features to look for, I'm not as concerned with a brand at this time, but what features make a good bike.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
