ParticipantStudies show about half of all food on America is wasted. There may be an ethical requirement for some of us to eat from dumpsters.

Participant400 is low. Personally I’d go w the old steel mtn bike and get fancy new tires– google schwalbe big apple. Those are great. And a Brooks saddle. And a carradice bag. That will be styling and around 400.00
and no carbon fiber in that price range anyway

ParticipantNew bike advice.
Not sure whatsout there nowadays. Assuming moneys an issue…
I feel like a used steel suspensionless mountainbike would be best for you.
And cheapest.
Spend balance on cool accessories, bags, pump, cool saddle.
I love old mountain bikes 80 s to early 90s .. Overbuilt, will last a long rime.
26 inch wheels stronger better for trailer pulling won’t taco as easy.
Just my opinion.
If moneys not an object I have a different opinion.

ParticipantOk. Maybe. I admit steel bikes is more like a religion for me. I may not be rational. This is a matter of faith.
I will not submit to science or rationality on this. Steel.

ParticipantOk check out http://www.bustedcarbon.com where people send in photos and tales of broken carbon bikes.
Jeez, how can anyone ride this stuff?

ParticipantIn bicycles the tradeoff can involve serious injury or death.
And no real advantage.

ParticipantSo you significantly scratch your carbon fiber bike and it’s not safe to ride.
People who ride bikes often scratch them. We fall. The bikes fall over. They get gouged in transport.
Unacceptable.
In real life I think steel fails slowly on bikes. It creaks. It gives notice it’s dying.
Carbon doesn’t.
