best buy road bike helmets image
Berklee.
So my step dad rides and he got my mom into it so I want to try it now. Im aware that road bikes get pretty pricey but thats alright. I just need to try and keep it under $1,000. So any suggestions on good bikes?
Also are trek bikes good?
Answer
If you buy a $1000 bike, it will be very enjoyable to ride but, as soon as you get it you will feel the urge to upgrade bits of it. With that in mind, I'd recommend an $800 bike and save the $200 for bits and pieces.
Trek is a decent brand but pretty much any $800 bike will be similar so try a few out and choose the one you like the look and feel of best.
When upgrading, consider the contact points first: shoes and pedals, saddle and shorts, bars and tape and mitts.
If you get seriously serious and do long rides, consider the real comfort of a true ergonomic saddle. I like the SMP4Bike range, but there are many others about now too
Get a helmet!

What is the best road bike I should get?

Answer
There are a lot of good options around that price range. I would suggest going to a local bike store and trying out different bikes. The brands will usually have similar components at similar price points. The difference will be the geometry of the bike and size. So find out what your bike size is and try out the different bikes. The one that is most comfortable for you is probably a good start. I read that Trek owns Gary Fisher and that they are very similar, but the Gary Fisher bikes are designed with a slightly longer top tube making it more comfortable for people with longer upper bodies. So people may like Trek bikes but hate Gary fisher and vice versa. So try different ones out. I found that Evans Cycles seems to be a big cycling store in the UK and they seem to carry a good amount of brands so you can try different bikes all at one place.
One other thing about buying a bike is that the cost isn't limited to just the bike. You got to remember that clothes, water bottle, water bottle cages, cyclometer, lights, helmet, new seat, shoes, pedals are all possible things you may want to buy with the bike depending on when and where you need to ride.
There are a lot of big names in bikes: Specialized, Trek, Gary Fisher, Giant, Bianchi, Cannondale are just to name a few.

Anyways good luck, have fun, and be safe with your bike, whatever it ends up being.
