Hey,
My bf is an avid user on here and I figured if anyone knows about bikes…
So here is my dilemma, I'm not going to lie, I'm a roadie… Mountain biking not my thing. But I moved with bf to a mountain biking centre here in BC and I kind of want to get in to it. I don't enjoy being the only one who doesn't go on the biking trips. Ok so long story short, I'm looking for a bike that I can use to ride around the city with and head on some "baby" trails. also, most importantly I am looking for a bike that is pretty (Aka Colourful), I hate that most bikes are so boring looking! Any suggestions of bikes or even brands(Budget is $200-$700)
Thanks

What about something like the Specialized Ariel?

In the wake of the Kona Dew appearing a few years back, basically every bike company makes a 700c disc brake commuter bike capable of light trails (gravel or smooth singletrack). Prices generally start at about $500 for a new bike, so you can definitely get what you want for within the $700 budget.
