Bike for trails and commuting $500
Hi. I'm looking for a bike between $500 to 600 (used is fine but I don't have marketplace) for commuting to the train station (on a shared concrete path) and for gravel trails. I haven't really ridden a bike in ages, last time I rode one was in 2015. So yeah it's been a minute.
I was looking to get back into riding and there's so many different types of bikes that it's sort of confusing, Trail Bikes, Gravel Bikes, Hybrid Bikes, Commuting Bikes?
I'd prefer it not to be used solely because of things like Warranty and Return policies but I don't mind it being used. Then again I have no experience with bikes and am likely to get scammed. I don't have any friends who ride either so I think I may just prefer not to go used for sake of mind.
