:( unfortunate but in all honesty running really isn't very good for you so maybe you'll say enjoy roller blading swimming or riding a bike on flat ground. never fun to give up something because your body says no though. |

Biking is going to be your best bet with your knee being weakened when your getting back into it. I don't like riding around town on a bike as its too hot and u have to watch for the other idiots who will run u down. Get that gym membership back up and get started! |

Hows your knowledge on Bike brands?? I was thinking of getting one of the hybrid mountain/street bikes or I'll just get the mountain bike. I want a decently built one thats worth paying for/owning if u know what I mean. No sorry ass Sports Authority China made . |

I've been reading up on it for a few months, but I'm more of a roadie since I bike to crosstrain from running. I tell you this much, it's an expensive hobby but I guess if your needs are minimal you shouldn't have a problem from buying from a LBS.
Hybrid = mtb frame, fork, and components with different tires. Tires are thinner and have less teeth in them...beach cruiser wheels base with teeth near the rim area.
I think a bike is a great investment and it really depends on your preferences. I know for myself, I'll buy something and see something better and want that so I went straight from an all around mtb to a pretty high upgraded roadie.
Reputable brands are - specialized, cannondale, trek, schwinn. You can find some deals on some nice MTB at bikesdirect.com. Be warned though, these are box bikes which means you'll have to assemble them together. Some of the bikes on BD.com are pretty component wise. The price you'll pay for one assembled at a LBS with those components usually surpass BD's pricing, you'll just need to find a LBS to assemble for you which will probably cost you some but still come out better if you went that method over buying direct from a LBS.
Specific questions just ask and I'll try my best to answer... |

awesome, thanks man. I'll start looking through at those manufacturers models and then narrow it down from there! I have no problem assembling the bike as I have access to any tool I would need...plus its a lot of fun to build it! |

Me: I sometimes wonder if dykes are dykes because they've given up on trying to be skinny and pretty.
Bas: I think the answer to that is obvious, lol.
Me: lol
Bas: You can tell because hot dykes are acually bi. |
