What is the best bike for me?

I live in the city and just want a bike to get exercise. I would rather a bike under $100 but I'm willing to spend some more, just as long as it isn't going to kill my wallet. I'm not to sure what exactly to look for but I want to make sure that the bike has everything that belongs on it and that it's of good quality. I rather not have it fall apart right away.
So any tips on what brands to look for or just what to look for in general would be great.

Answer
The bike is comfortable and can be adjusted to fit your height. The gears and brake controls are easy for you to use. Spare parts are readily accessible in any well stocked bicycle store, you were offered and took a test ride before purchasing. It fits in your budget,

Tell bicycle store owner what surfaces or terrain you will cover ( grass, trails, pavement, etc) Will you be on hilly terrain or generally flat? How many miles per week will you ride?

Check Bicycling Magazine for product reviews, ask advice from seasoned riders, join a local bicycling club for friendly advice.

Save your skull....buy a well made and certified helmet !

Why are car driving people so incredibly lazy and unfit?

World Peac

The UK is very unfit and congested by Volkswagens,
BMW, AUDI, Mercedes and Porsche 9-11 types.

So why do UK people blame each other so much
for their own bad habits and plain laziness?

Why don't the people learn to walk, to ride bicycles
and dammed well get fit so they can be happy?

Are they victims of a government conspiracy to
force everyone to buy a car and drive?

The same question applies to the USA and Greece
and all other car infested countries of moaners who
are simply too lazy to walk or get on their bikes.

I mean just look at Egypt, another place full up with cars,
why not just ban cars from Cairo?

The Cairo Congestion charge could solve the Egyptian
economic crises in 5 minutes!

And investment in the Railways, paid for by congestion
charging would create millions of good local jobs.
Is Congestion charging the Great way to cut income tax and restart the economy?

Answer
Lots of reasons. Besides the obvious, bicycles are not great on 50 mile commutes or in nasty weather. I used to commute by bicycle, up to a 12 mile commute. I was a strong rider (Saturday rides with my friend averaged 80 miles in hills) and had the young man's notion of my own immortality. I have bicycle commuted in freezing rain and in 118 F heat.

The problem is that automobile commuting is much more sensible. While commuting on my bicycle I have had garbage and bottles thrown at me and been deliberately run off the road. Another bicycle commuter in my building at the time was hit in the back of the helmet with a baseball bat as he rode to work. I have been on a bicycle club ride in which one rider was killed and another's neck broken. Bicycles are wonderful things to get out and regenerate our spirits but they have serious weaknesses as basic transportation.
