Anyone know any good cycling trails in the south Florida area? I'm trying to find more entertaining forms of cardio, cycling always looked kinda goofy, but I guess you can't knock it till ya try it. lolol

Ive done both road and downhill riding defo one of the best cardio exercises and adrenaline rush! Much better than a gym bike! Dont know any locations but im sure theres information online for you!

I'll definitely look Into it! What's a reasonable price for a 10speed bike? Just looking for a ball park answer.

Check out markham park. It's in Weston. It's a massive park w every kind of recreation possible. I know they have some serious trails there although I've never ridden them.

If you can afford a good quality used road bike, expect to pay at least $500-$1,500. Stick to the name brands...Cannondale, Trek, Specialized, Giant, Fuji.

If thats too much, there are plenty of 10-20 year old aluminum bikes on Craigs List for less than $500. Just make sure the bike fits you. Nothing worse than the wrong size frame.

You'll find serious cycling is the best low impact cardio ever!

I love it! Easy on the joints too. I bought a WalMart special mountain style bike (weighs about 2 tons, maybe more) in early April. First ride was maybe 3 miles and I was sucking air by the time I was done. lol. Now I can ride 20 miles a day at around 16 mph. Beats the heck out of running but it does take more time.
