What kind of bike would you suggest for a first time rider to buy?

I know that if it's my first one used is the way to go. I tend to lean towards the rice rockets really, one that is kinda of flashy but not too over-powered that it might be too much for a newbie like me. And honestly, I don't like Harleys. Sorry, but that's not for me. I'm really looking for a bike that I can ride comfortably around town on my days off just to have a little fun.

Answer
I would recommend the Ninja for the following reasons:

Enough Power To Have Fun, But Not Enough To Intimidate You
Light and Easy To Handle And Maneuver
Cheap (Probably Less Than $2k For A 2005)
Has Been Very Popular So They Are Readily Available
Lower Insurance Rates
Great Resale Value When You Decide To Move Up

Whatever you choose, please take a MSF course and wear all of your protective equipment including helmet, boots, gloves, jacket and pants. You will be very thankful when you drop it.

What is the best child carrier for a bike?

I have a 4month old son and would like to get a seat or a trailer for my bike. what is better a trailer or seat, and what are some good models?
thank you!
Thanks for the answers so far! I guess i should have mentioned i am not looking to put him in it yet (i didn't even get the bike for myself yet) i am more so just looking to do the research and get the helpful advice from all of you.

Answer
You do not want to take an infant that young on a bike or trailer. They are not strong enough to hold their head up let alone wear a helmet. Wait until they are at least a year old. A trailer is safer then a carrier, they won't tip over if you go down. Until then you should keep you eye out for a Chariot or Burley. They are expensive but a used one is much cheaper and they hold their value longer then the cheaper brands.
