I am a senior wanting to ride for fitness, trips to the grocery store, around town carrying light camera gear for nature shots is the bike 4 me?

Probably not. Only because it is a single gear bike, which makes it harder to actually get a good workout on it . But it is very lightweight and is easy to peddle. I love mine.

Definitely. If you are riding for fitness the singlespeed will give you a workout. As I am new to riding I can say that this is the first bicycle I havebeen on that has actually made riding comfortable and fun.

Its hard to say. If you are planning on riding fixed gear, then expect there to be a learning curve. If you plan on just using the single speed/free gear, then you would probably be just fine. If you are unsure if fixed gear is for you, then I recommend to do a bit more research before buying. All that being said, I love my PureFix bicycle.

I agree with previous answers. There are city type cruiser bikes that are more comfortable and stable, especially if you're going to be carrying camera gear.

I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike. In my opinion (not professional) i don't thank that it would be safe for anyone over the age of 60. The wheels are very thin and can be a bit challenging to balance it you plan on carrying some extra gear on your bike. Although this is an Excellent bike for commuting to grocery stores and riding around town. My mother is 65 years old and she loves to bike ride. She attempted to ride my pure fix bike, but fail at doing so. She told me that the saddle and The handlebar are far apart watch makes it uncomfortable for her back. She actually have a hard time getting on and off the bike due to the straight bar (non Dutch) style. I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike.

I don't think so. I bought one for my son and he is in first year college. It is fine for nom as he is an athletic baseball player. There is only one gear and you cannot coast. Brakes seem to be optional. I tried and it was not my cup of tea. The fixed gear seems to be similar to tenth gear on a mountain bike so going up any sort of a hill is a lot of work. My wife has a three speed cruiser style bike also from Amazon and I think that would be much more comfortable for the uses you have in mind.

Yes a 52cm bike would likely be a nice fit for you. You could always head to your local bike shop and have them measure you and advise you on the perfect size road bike for you.

I don't mountain bike. Sorry. I really like my Topeak bag on my road bikes.

All I wanted was something simple to ride, not a lot of gadgets. This bike has been great for me. I have it in my living room, ride my 5 miles a day while watching tv. It is quiet so it does not disturb my husband while he watches. It tells me all I want to know...how far I went. It does have other things it monitors but all I want to know is about my mileage. Another thing, my grandchildren love it and ride it every time they are here. p.s. I am 67 and plan to ride it along time, I am very satisfied with it.

You should be okay! You can adjust your seat to the lowest position and still be able to cycle to the fullest.

If you like a change of scenery, walking would be best. I guess you could work on your I-pad or tablit on the bike.

This style and actual bike would be a good choice. It should be manageable in terms of weight versus size.

Yes, and I love this bike! It's a great piece of exercise equipment. I ride 12 miles per day on it, it's been great.

As cheap and sturdy as these little bikes are, just upgrade\ crossgrade to new parts that fit your aesthetic choices. Look at citygrounds.com or even

Just one gear on the bike that I got. Which is probably all I think you would need on these type of bikes.

I have no idea .you can bike as hard as you wish . I think you will find that the speed is more than capable of handling any thing you can give it.

Absolutely. I think I'm in pretty good shape, and biking at a resistance level of 5 is burning my legs after about 10 minutes. This thing is really smooth. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

57. But go with a nicer bike. Buy local. Might be an extra 100 dollars but most shops offer warranties, and when you get into low end bikes, warranties = less headache.

It's enough for 'Me'. It really depends on where a persons fitness level is. Specifying that you like a LOT of resistance, 'you' may want more, to be on the safe side. But again, 8 is a lot of resistance on this bike.

Yes, I do think so. Maybe even 2 adult road, commuter type, bikes. I have a small snow blower in mine. Hope this helps.

It has a fairly low step over and I would think it would be a good choice for a senior citizen. It is a very sturdy and stable bike.
