I think our plan is to motor around our subdivision and there is a decommissioned Army base next to us that is slowly turning into a office / multi-use park. So no long distances, just slow and having fun while we burn some calories ..........

cool beans. I mention terrain as even a slight, gradual hill can be a grind if the gearing isnt right. No need for anything complicated but its worth looking at something with more than 3 speeds.

I'm all for multi-speed but just cannot convince my wife. She loves the simplicity of no gears with coaster brake. Me.................I like a little more leverage.

Like you most of my bike riding is flatish bike paths... my mountain bike has 18 gears but I probably only use 3 of them.

Stupid Vash and Byron have me looking at the fat tire bikes... Mongoose makes one under $300 but I'm presuming it is walmart quality?
