ERG + What?

I voted for Road biking, not least because that's how I get to work. But I added On-water rowing to the options, as I guess that might be quite popular. My apologies for interfering with your poll!<br><br>Cheers, Paul

you could have added it before i voted for road biking...

What is a reasonable price for a hybrid bike?<br><br>A friend of mine says they have them for $160 and up in Canada.

[[old] Cran]

get two bikes... a road bike and a mtb bike... I wouldn't get a hybrid.<br><br>$160 is way too cheap anyway... that'll be a heavy lump of metal not a bike.

$160. for what?? A Huffy?<br><br>Any decent bike will cost $3,000. US<br><br>Let me know what brand is $160. in Canuk.

Even if you do have mixed riding tastes, check your budget and see what you can afford - sometimes you may prefer a riding position over another - road bikes are lower and a little sleeker, moutain and hybrid bikes have a very upright position. There are bikes for all types of riding - such as, if you prefer a road bike fit, but ride on dirt alot - cyclocross bike, if you prefer a hybrid fit but ride all on roads - there are "relaxed fit" road bikes out there. <br><br>Secondly - I can only pick ONE? so not fair.

Due to blisters I tried running for the first time in a few months. I only did 6 miles at a slow pace (47min) but I still got enough pain in the leg muscles the day after to make me walk funny if I didn't concentrate. Even more notable is that I got a little pain in the lower back muscles. You think erging would have kept them at least tough enough for running slow, but no. =/<br><br>Also my inner thighs insisted on rubbing aganinst each other, despite underwear, enough to cause red skin and pain <br><br>Anyway, I enjoyed the run and will have another tomorrow. Hopefully it will feel a bit easier, even if my HR was only in the 158-163 range yesterday it felt a bit tougher than when I ran more frequently.
