Just got into cycling...Road cycling to be specific, and it is great and am enjoying it very much. A friend of mine...a lady, decided that she would like to take up the activity as a form of exercise . She would be looking for a mountain bike or all terrain type bike (pardon my lack of exact verbage/ knowledge deficit regarding terminology) that would be good for a beginner cyclist to ride on. She is 5'6" and a bit heavy (which is why she wants to start cycling, none the less) told I would ask around as I am certainly no expert.
What would be a good type and size bike for a person like this? What type if investment would she be looking at for something new versus a good used one?
