Shopping around for my bike

Wow, who would have thought buying the right bike for you was difficult. Hey! I LOVE to shop, but I guess for things that I have more knowledge of-- like clothes, gadgets, music..... But at same time, it's sorta fun. I've seen a few bikes online.. One really attracts me, except for the price. Who would have known that bikes were expensive? Well, maybe just me-- I've lived under a rock. Anyhow, I have some appointments to check some out.. I guess i better start calling my friends so they can help me out.....
