As an attempt to lose weight I have decided that DF and I are going to purchase bicycles and bike the long open roads in our town.
I have no clue where to start, the last bike I owned was in middle school and cost somewhere around $113.
What are good bikes to use for exercise? Also I will need a child attachment seat for our one year old.
Answer
1. Your Budget?
Since u probably wont answer in time, I'm going to assume the usual reasonable range of 400 - 700CAD for a NEW bicycle which is the easiest, wisest recommendation.
2. In N. America, Giant(Taiwan), Norco(Canada-based), Specialized(US) and Trek(US) (alphabtcal ordr) are indeed the major, excellent, reputable brands for your needs. On paper, overall, Giant will probably have the best value.
3. Yes, there are "fitness bikes" aka "performance-hybrids":
Giant FCR series: FCR 3 500CAD
Norco VFR series: VFR 5 or 6 same price point.
Specialized Sirrus series: Sirrus, Sirrus Sport(?)
Trek FX series: 7.1, 7.2
However, you may just need/want a "normal" more comfort-oriented Hybrid:
Giant Cypress R: 400CAD, Cypress w suspension closer to 500CAD
Trek 7100: same price point.
All above bicycles are child seat, rack and fender compatible.

I agree! Dont b afraid to have colour/style/the way it looks be a factor. It cannot b easily changed so pick one that you personally "like"!
Buy from a reputable independent bicycle dealer (w a goodmechanic) that you personally trust and "like" bc you'll likely b dealing w them long-term.
Have fun shopping and riding! :)

PS what's "DF"? I personally ride a 2007 Norco VFR 5 by choice, as a daily performance city bike. ;)

I'm trying to lose 20 pounds, but I need a good at home exercise routine.
I got the whole eating healthy thing down btw.
I dont have access to a gym, but I do have an exercise bike !
Also I live in Canada and there's going to be snow on the ground in a month. So i definetly need some work outs I can do in my house. How long should i do them, How many reps, how many sets.. please include those kinda details. Thank you xx
Answer
I belly dance for an hour everyday. No equipment needed and not much space either. All you need is some good music and a hip scarf. You get aerobic work out and your muscles get worked as well.
