DH gets $ in a health/fitness account through work & has decided to get a bike. He thinks I need to get one too. I had a mountain bike a few years ago but only rode it twice because I can't stand to be hunched over without my back killing me.

Does anyone know of a brand that allows you to sit upright, like kids bikes do? I don't want to spend $$$$$ on a bike that sits in the garage.

Thanks.

Ann, when you go look I suggest you look at the length of the "stem" (pole between bike and seat). See if it's adjustable too.
