How do you decide between a road bike and a mountain bike? (5 answers)

Should a 'beginner' cyclist get a road bike? I'm not very good at cycling; mainly I'm afraid of sharing the road with cars and also tend to overreact to potholes and cracks in the ground. I'm also pretty weak on climbing. On the other hand, it's my objective to overcome these obstacles and eventually be able to ride long city trails. Should I start with a mountain bike and build up my skills first, or should I just go ahead and get a road bike since that's my end goal anyway?

It it possible to find out where bike racks, parks, and trails are placed aound my are? (1 answer)

I'd like to use a bike to get to many places that I want, but there aren't any bike racks around any more. I also want to know about bike laws for this state/county.
