It's been a very long time since I've actually had a bicycle. I think I've owned two in my life, a bmx and a mountain bike. I gave away the mountain bike from my teenage years a few years back since I never rode it. As part of my getting back in shape program I thought about getting a bike again to casually ride a nice trail we have near my house. After a bit of research I decided to shop for single speed bikes as it's more for casual riding. I tested a few bikes at the local shops but finally ended up ordering one online. After much consideration I ended up going for a Mercier Kilo WT (white). We'll see how I did in a week or so when it shows up. I may have sized the bike a size too small but I have odd body dimensions that aren't really optimal for cycling but I figure I can make due with a couple tweaks to the stem/seat post if it's not quite right. And probably a slightly larger gear to play around with for hills.
