Looking for something that might be about 40-50km/day, probably something middle of the road in terms of how strenuous it is.

( www.reddit.com )

Simple question about financing a bike or paying with credit card. What should I do? Bike shop said I could finance a bike at 0% for 12 months (would be $280 a month).
