What is the price of a road bike for just riding(training for other sports) but not so bad as too be shy of? The cheapest quality bike for my situation?
Answer
Well, it all depends on what you mean by "good". You will always be able to buy a better bike for more money. The trick is to keep with whatever budget you may have.
My suggestion is to go to a local bike shop and get some recommendations based on your budget. Keep in mind that the salesperson will be trying to upsale you by telling you how much better a bike you will get if you were only willing to spend $50 more. However, you must remain focused and keep from getting distracted -- be very wary of spending more money if you really don't understand or can't feel any differences for the more expensive part.
Finally, be sure to save some money to buy a helmet, shoes, pedals and cycling shorts. The helmet is essential, the shoes, pedals, and shorts will make a much bigger difference in your ride comfort than any upgrade to a sub-$1000 bike.

Answer
First off, avoid a department store bike like the plague!!! Go to a reputable bike shop, preferably with a trusted friend who has lots of bike riding experience on both road and mountain bikes if you can. Look around the shop and note the variety of bikes as well as brands. Talk with an experienced salesperson, one who will listen to what you have to say. They need to know what you want, not for them to charge ahead and sell you the bike they want to sell. Take it for a test ride. In fact, take several different styles and brands for test rides. Different makes of bikes will feel very different. The bike shop should offer free adjustments in fitting the bike to you. I.e., move the saddle front or back, tilt the saddle to the best angle, etc. And a good shop will want you to bring it back in a month of riding to make adjustments to the bike such as tightening the cables for the brakes and derailleurs, truing wheels if necessary, etc. And keep some money to buy a helmet (and a lock if you are going to ride it somewhere and park it unattended).
