xypher=I am interested in riding, but not sure which shops have good deals. Anyone can recommend me a good bike? I don't wanna buy those racers with super thin tyres. Prefer something like a mountain bike but probably suited for road riding.
Depends on your budget. There are lots of choices - the usual suspects: Scott, Trek, Kona, Cove, etc, etc. Better to go off to a bike shop and look around. More important is to make sure you get a bike that fits your physique (how tall you are, how flexible, reach, leg length) - google "bike fitting" and get an online bike fitting calculator to get Frame Size.
Go to togoparts.com - this is the best local bike forum IMO.
