>>2020835>It should be mostly road or sidewalk drivinga road bike. either a basic new one or used.
>>2020835>not very long (~3 mi).really anything will work. an old 90s mtb with no suspension (heavy and shitty for road. "b-but I'm heavy!" shut up) with slick tires is fine. hybrid or gravel is fine.
>>2020835>I'm pretty heavyjust make sure the wheels have at least 32 spokes and you're good. if used, squeeze the spokes together all the way around and if any feel notably loose take them to get tensioned and trued. especially if you look at the tire tread straight on and the wheels wobble side-by-side when you spin them.
>>2020835so you need eyelets on the "dropouts" to attach fenders and many racks. on a steel bike, the eyelets are sometimes called "braze-ons". you can put a rack and fender on the same eyelet. anyway, some front racks mount to the fork further up on the fork blades. so if your fork has that, you can get whatever rack you want, but if not you need one that mounts to the dropout or you can get adapters. I use some Tubus adapters and they're solid af.
>but fats need special stuff not really other than the wheel thing. also you want wide-ish tires (28-35mm, 32 is common) but new road bikes pretty much all come with clearance for them. watch out for used roadies, the older frames and forks had narrow clearances, depending on the model they might be wide though. mtb or hybrid or gravel will all have wide clearance.
