What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    Biking.

    Moving under your own power has so many benefits:

    • It’s fun
    • It’s cheap (or can be, to be fair)
    • It’s good for your health
    • It’s good for the planet

      Is there a bike you would suggest for a beginner to buy into that isn’t too expensive but also not junk? Budget of $300 or so, but can flex.

        There are so many different models for different use-cases that it’s hard to recommend a specific one. With that budget, I’d look for something used for sure. For my use-case, a city hybrid-styld bike is the best - fast, but with features that are convenient for commuting (rear rack, pedals that don’t require cycling shoes that clip in), but depending on what you want to do, you might want something different.

        One good tip is to go talk to your local bike shop about your needs, they are usually really helpful when it comes to this type of thing.

        I cringe watching someone struggling to turn the pedals when they are riding a multi geared bike.

        Cycling is good for the knees, if you’re not staining to turn the pedals. That’s why gearing exists.

        Use the gears to make the pedaling easier.
