Thinking about buying a new bike, but don't know where to start? Ask members of reddit's /r/bicycling community questions specifically relating to getting the right bike for you, your riding conditions, and your budget.

Help us help you. Tell us as much as you can:

• Your level of experience with cycling

• What's your price range, and have you considered second hand?

• What's your intention with the bike - commuting, fitness, touring, sport, etc?

• How far will you be riding, and how often?

• Riding conditions: roads, pavement, trails, single-track, off-road? Flat or hilly? Traffic and weather.

• Your location (even approximate) can help other locals familiar with your conditions, too.
