I am a 26 year old male, and I teach students for IIT JEE. I am quite a lazy bum and don't do much physical activity. I have a thin body with a little belly outgrowing it (a little too lot Cola here), which I don't mind, But I also don't have much stamina (acc. to my age) which is a major issue IMO. Though I want to be active in my lifestyle and dream about running, and participating in a marathon all the time, I haven't been pursuing my dreams at all. Now, i think that a Cycle can push me out of my comfort zone. So I am planning to go for a Single speed cycle under Rs. 6000, don't want to spend much, in case I don't pursue it for long, it will go waste. I want a no nonsense, maintenance free cycle, with reasonable comfort. Won't prefer very thin tyres, as I don't think that they are suited for our potholed roads. I own a Car but plan to cycle to office if I everything goes as planned.
Options I could chose from net -
BTwin MyBike (4500 +1000 (Accessories) + 500(Delivery) = 6000)
Mach City iBike (>6500)
Mach City Munich (>9000)
Firefox (Cheapest model, Rs. 9500)
Suncross (Cheapest model)
I reside in a city which has no Decathlon store, hence will have to buy it online, adding delivery charges to the cost as well. May add to servicing woes? Firefox and Suncross are available in my city but I don't intend to spend too much unless other options available aren't worth it.
Some Background -
I had a Red BSA I-Bike (a weird shaped bike with weird handle bar) in standard 8th till 10th. I enjoyed it to bits during schooling. I learnt cycling on it and had numerous (minor) accidents on it, which made the connection even more stronger. I could sometimes cycle 20 kms to and fro on very bad village roads to where my father was posted. It was a brilliant cycle, only marred by its complex handle bars as they weren't maintenance free. I kept the cycle with me even till college got over, though I had taken to motor-biking in 10th standard itself. Now I don't have that bike. Father had given it away to some worker. If only I could get that bike back.
