I recommend a single/ fixed gear
They are extremely fun, provide a great workout and easily maintainable.
I bought one for around 275$. Put new gator skin tires on ( highly recommend) cheap seat / chain / double wrapped the handle bars, got some clip less pedals / shoes
The bike is awesome and is quite the eye catcher, get a lot of looks / compliments.
I did have to buy a few different freewheels to try to find a perfect gear ratio for myself since I live on a huge hill,I needed something to be able to get up a huge hill but still be able to go a decent speed on flats . I average 13-15mph, I also ride single due to the hill I live on
My biggest ride is 90.5 miles in a day. I absolutely love the bike, besides that I think it is SLIGHTLY too small . Make sure you get the right siZe.
I can keep up with older geared bikes but not a chance with a new trek Fuji giant Etc geared that averages 18+ mph. But the single speed is so much fun !!
