Tell us a little bit about what you want to do and where you want to do it and we might be able to give you some insight.
my main goal is fitness workout purpose , I never used a road bike I don’t know if I will be comfortable for me , I had car accident back in 2017 I have herniated disks like almost always I have some discomfort on my neck or back . I have used specialized 2021 roll sport after checking reviews that is the one of the most comfy hybrid upright sitting position and step through so my fiancé can use it , but somehow it’s too heavy for me and saddle hurts my back bone even saddle is very comfy on this bike . I m looking for something light and I live in New York City there is bike path but also regular city streets with some bumps cuts on the road it’s New York
and also when I go boardwalk it’s wood road wood bricks old school . Most bikes paths and some hills will be my ride do I need shocks or it doesn’t make difference ?
