I desperately need a nice weather hobby that I can do with the wife that includes some exercise that she would like. Thus I have figured bicycling the thing to do. Problem is I know little to nothing about them so I need some suggestions. Just looking for a set of inexpensive starter bikes for leisurely rides in our neighborhood, the towpath and maybe extremely light dirt trails in the metroparks. Another plus for her would be a bike that can have one of those cargo racks that a small cooler can be strapped to. Have no idea if that can be done to any bike or only certain styles, this is how clueless I am. Also, what sort of seat should my rather big ass be looking for to be the least uncomfortable? So what in the world should I be looking for?
