That's what I am figuring, just go and get a used one. Saves a ton of money and to be honest, a bike someone used for 2-3 years is nothing if well taken care of. I've been crawling Craigslist but with a baby on the way the bike purchase plans were once again moved to next year.
How much are you riding on average? I am currently going near 50 miles, 3 times a week. Still haven't broken though 62 miles but plan on doing so for my 3 upcoming rallies in August, September and October.
It's just tough finding time for biking since anything above 40 miles will take you quite a long time and at this point, anything under 40 miles seems hardly a challenge anymore. I am trying to get the bike trainer for the winter months since it seems that I need to start over every year in the spring.
