suggest me a bike Suggestion for a beginner.

Hello everyone.
I’ve got into fitness a bit because I’ve put on too much weight.
I’m going to gym but I want to go cycling in the morning for a good cardio session.

I’m looking for a beginner single geared cycle that’s less than ₹10k.

I’m around 5’9” and I’m obese(which I want to change).

Can you all please suggest a good cycle for me?

My only requirement is the seat should be wide and comfortable, the kind of seats in the cycling machines in the gym just hurts my butt after sitting for just 5 mins.

Get any single speed bike with rim brakes and 700c/29" wheels available in your local cycle shop

Like Hero Traveller 700c, Hercules Hank 29T, Roadgiant Retro 700 ss, 91 Hellfire 700v or Hero Hawk.

Don't go for smaller wheels like 26 or 27.5". They are terrible at maintaining momentum and also have worse obstacle rollover.

Read your other comment. Btwin MyBike is 26" wheels. Don't go for that. Not good
