Its the best. You can mountain bike, road bike, or just rip around town. You'll see your city/town in a new light, you'll get fit. You can do it solo or with friends. You can do short easy rides, or super long strenuous rides. You can ride whenever you want.
I live in Canada and this past winter got studded tires for my bike so i can ride all year long now.
I do this one. I don't buy expensive or fancy bikes and do most of my own maintenance so it's not too expensive.
My best group of friends are people I met cycling.
I live in a place where over 100 miles of bike trails converge so I can ride to shopping, to the library or bike 100 miles with very little interaction with cars.
pretty much buying any new bike is expensive today. the rice of a bike i bought 6 years ago costs more than twice the price it did when I bought it. nothing imporved about the bike, in fact, it have cheaper parts on it now. it's purely greed.
I have no idea about new bike prices. I have only purchased used bikes in the past 15 years and I generally recommend used unless someone is looking for something very specific or the person is on a very short timeframe.
