Started biking again back in early October of 2016 when we retired and moved to Floridsa. Picked up a used bike with one chain ring and 7 gears. Wife bought a used on at the same time. Same set up. Living in Florida, weather makes biking year round easy.  About 18 months later I hurt my back and that put me on the shelf until July of 2020. Needed to loose some weight from inactivity so I started up again. With the bike I had, it took me 25+ minutes to ride 5 miles. It was a lot of effort. Since we have a bike club in the community, did a little talking  with a few members about bikes. I had a lot to learn. In early September, 2020,  I decided it was time for a new bike.

Bottom line, I purchased a Trek Verve 3. It's a hybrid. The fit is great. 18 speeds, disc brakes. It's a step thru frame.

I now ride 7 to 8 miles a day, regardless of weather. So yes, get a quality bike from a reputable shop. At the same time I got mine, my wife got a Verve 2 hybrid. And I've lost 19 pounds since September!
