Just don't get one of those shitty Chinesium Walmart bikes that weigh half a ton. Go to an actual bike shop, and get something quality. I got an aluminum Trek road bike probably 6 years ago, and every moment on that bike has been an absolute joy. You don't get that from the Chinesium bikes.
I'll have to remember that I used to ride whatever I could get my hands on mostly shitty walmart bikes even kids bikes I would ride for miles I didn't care. So having something nice would probably be heaven.
I was riding a shitty Walmart bike before my current one. 10mph would be a huge struggle. Then I got this road bike, and suddenly, I was going over 20mph for half the effort.
I remember the one bike I got out of the trash literally out of the trash I put new tires on it and I managed to go down this big ass hill that had a speed cam on it and hit 50mph it was awesome.
