I'm hoping someone can offer some advice for choosing the right bike for me.
A little background..
I'm 41, about 5'11" and 235lbs. (poor bike). A few years ago, I broke my left leg pretty bad. Plates, screws, surgeries, and my leg is still only back to about 70%, so something easy to ride and comfortable is very important.
I'm mostly thinking about riding it to work, since I only live about a mile away from the office. Probably also some evening rides, and just trying to get back in shape. I'm also hoping the exercise will help me get my diabetes better controlled (type 2).
I don't know the first thing about bikes anymore. The last bike I owned was a Kuwahara bmx bike about 25 years ago. I plan on going to a local bike shop to get fitted properly, but would at least like to have an idea of what type of bike to start looking at. Road bike, mountain bike, etc...
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
