Hi. I'm looking to buy a bike but I don't know what type. I'm pretty rough with riding, hoping onto street curbs, travelling down stony roads - the wheel usually takes a beating. I don't feel too comfortable raised high off the ground, I prefer to be closer to the ground to quell anxiety if I need to stop with my two feet on the ground, I feel more in control. I want a feeling of security in the construction, I don't want it to feel thin, flimsy or that it might fail as I'm bulleting down a hill. But having said that I don't want it too bulky as I will be cycling long distances.
Suggestions? Budget: less than $400.
