Hello all,
New to the forum and just sold a truck and want to buy a bike.
I live in Canterbury and need a bike that can say do 5000km per year in 50km trips.
Ideally I want something especially efficient, reliable and easy, cost effective to maintain.
Have very basic riding skills (can ride - but not very experienced or yet licensed) and have no need of anything sleak or flashy...just cheap and reliable to run. Id happily go 80-100km/hr so no speed demon devices needed either....
Oh also ideally can do some time on gravel roads as I live rural but likely to be much more road time....
What do guys recommend??? I was thinking of a farm bike but not sure of those are best for 50km trips....
Cheers
Gary
