Bicycles-recommendations?
Thinking of getting new bicycles. We are older now & certainly don't need a gagillion speeds. Any recommendations would be appreciated. THX

As I said earlier, my daughter is a bicycle racer and part time mechanic. We cannot believe how heavy the bicycles in big box stores are--incredibly heavy. They must be miserable to pedal up a hill.
My 3 year old granddaughter is riding a Strider--with no pedals. Her 7 year old brother has full race aluminum frame BMX bikes that weigh just about nothing.
My daughter's race bikes have titanium axles ($90) and titanium spokes on hand built wheels ($750.) Her frames are aluminum ($650.) Front forks and handlebars are carbon fiber.
I realize campers don't require $2,000 bicycles, however you'd think that a $350-$450 bicycle would be relatively light and easier to ride.
