I need to get my fat ass in shape, lose 15-20 lbs... Its good for me and cost less than all the lightweight stuff I can get for the car.. Look at Bill Clinton and he had the best medical care in the world!!

Anyhoo... Im looking to buy a bike (cant jog, the knees wont allow it)

Whats the best bang for the buck for less than $500?

Dont like mountain bikes, nor a full road bike, so the hybrid seems where Im headed.

I saw a Marin San Rafael at a shop the other day, looks nice!

Also some North Face bike I can remember the model..

Are Marins going to make the cut?

inquiring minds want to know
