As for bikes test ride a bunch, bike seat style are a big factor, type of pedal and shoes is a big decision, when I think about it I know a lot of guys in their fifties and sixties who really messed themselves up unable to get their shoes out of clips/clipless and broke bones or worse.

Yeah, I won't be doing the clips thing. Never have liked them. Flat pedals are fine with me. And I did go through the bike threads, but they seem to be more oriented to the hard core bike crowd. Don't think I'm ready to jump into carbon fiber yet.
There's a bike shop here in town I was just reminded of and they let you test ride bikes, so I'll be visiting them soon. I just thought I'd get some pointers on decent brands and brands to avoid.
