>Inb4 lurk more/buy one it'll learn you
I need to know what I'm looking for before I can figure everything out for myself, and no QTDDTOT threads had these questions, and no threads had this question, so
Where can I learn the basics of what to look for in a new bike, where to draw the line on rebuilding a used bike(buy a 90's rigid frame MTB hurr), when to consider upgrading?
I lost my car due to an accident and am so poorfag that I am not getting any replacement for a good month and a half. Currently I walk 12 miles(in America) to and from work, an hour and a half commute, in a large town of over 50,000 and no public transit.
>largest hills are maybe 40ft in gradual grade slopes suited for vehicle travel
>quickest commute and probably only easy route involves shoulder travel where no sidewalk exists at points with gravel and knee high grass
>paved roads the entire way but unless it's not heavy traffic I stay on the side away from cars because I'm not suicidal
This could be considered a 'what bike style for me' and a 'how the fuck do I learn more' thread. I understand mountain bikes are not suited for roads, cyclocross bikes are suited for a little of both and road bikes are suited for.. roads.
I'm relatively fit, male, 5'11 and carry about 40lbs cargo to and from my work, including a uniform.
If this is not at all the place to ask, please direct me somewhere to get the fuck out instead of just telling me to get the fuck out.
Pic related is me on my average commute. Also I will be riding night rides regularly and my budget is around $200. Poorfag.

You want a bike with a rear rack. The style of the bicycle doesn't really matter but you probably don't want razor thin tires. That's about it. You can learn everything on the Sheldon Brown website and YouTube.
There are bike buy generals. Post your local craigslist you won't want to go new with your budget

Understood, thanks.

Generally seconding the other poster's recommendations.
How to learn more?
Read more. Work on stuff more. Talk with bike folks more.
When I was getting into bikes as an adult, Sheldon's website was definitely a useful resource for me. My bike was older, a 1986 10-speed, and that's sort of what his site is geared for.
Later, when I got a more modern bike, my Barnett's Manual was invaluable (download it first, then buy it later). There's a lot to be learned in there, even if it is really dry reading. It's a manual, after all.

You may have electric locomotives now but you'll never have the ones that matter.
Is it alright for me to be riding on roads if my bike is a single gear and do I have to study up on what all the symbols on the road mean, basic driving shit etc

Technically you don't need to know what the road signs mean, but it would help you and other road users if you did.

>do I have to study up on what all the symbols on the road mean
Do you ride an adult tricycle? Or use xl training wheels? Do you need to wear a helmet at all times whenever you leave your house?
Because you sound literally retarded.
Who does not know roadsigns and shit before leaving elementary school? Holy fuck.

Run out of battery and have a bad time.
Doesn't look like the frame offers anywhere to lock it if you can't take it with you at your destination for whatever reason.
Really you are better off with a folding bicycle.

heard that segways and electric bikes aren't allowed in nyc.
maybe this can be considered a mobility device (like powered wheel chair)?

hello there, ive been riding for a while but want to get better. dont want to race, just beat myself, push my limits (mainly in speed and resistance).
i know you will say get the cyclist bible.. thing is i live in south america and shipping books to my country is a pain in the ass and besides its 2015, we have internet, there's tons of free info regarding a lot of stuff.. i wonder how is there not gonna be a good source for bike training?
till now ive developed my own training, which consists on 4 rides a week, 3 short intense ones during the week (2-3 hours each), and one long relaxed in the weekend (4-5 hours).. i usually train on a hill during the week, climbing it several times and more flat on the weekend.. but im confused regarding elevating my cadence or pedaling slower but with more power.. or better said using heavier gears with slow cadence...anyway.. share your training routines..
by the way, is it possible to train without a bike computer? (no smartphone either).. oh and i commute to everywhere all the time on bike unless i have to carry something not bike transportable...
so any tips on stuff that can be get for free is welcomed, im ok with getting stuff by the side btw, torrents and stuff, just couldnt find joe friel's book.
pic unrelated but i heard /n/ likes trains.

Go to the gym if you wanna ride faster. Obviously you'll need to actually ride your bike also.

op here, thanks for your empathy bro.
ill explain: you have to receive a notification through the mail, go with that to the post office, get another paper, go to your house and print and fill other papers, then go to the customs, wait 2 hours, pay some shit, wait an hour and a half more, get your shit. (no cell phones allowed btw, but no one gives a fuck, you also cant buy shit and the waiting times im talking involve going early, you have to make 4 lines for all this bullshit).
also, i truly believe there must be free sources,or (ill be forward), illegal shit, like downloading books or whatever.
thats my story, who gives a crap, lets talk about training methods and sources to learn more..mejustwannaridefasterlonger. no hate for the americas in any case bro, peace!

Easy there tiger.
Find me 1 example of someone hating on a TT bike here. I think he meant in general.
>>796072
Riding mountains is a greater form of cycling. The road legends have all earned their place in history on the hills. Sure, there are time trials in the TDF, they are important, but they just don't compare. Cycling is about mountains/hills.
Also they're similar to triathlon bikes and so they get associated with those assholes who aren't good enough at cycling, running or swimming to do one.

I don't think anyone "hates" them
Are they really expensive?
