So what is the best new or used road bike for under $400?  An idealistic newbie needs to know.  Thanks

Gear Talk / Pentax W80 waterproof, freeze proof, sit on it proof for $189

I work as a freelance photographer and love my Canon DSLR.  But if I were you I would want something extra durable, waterproof, and impact proof.  I personally take a 10 megapixel W60 with me when I'm traveling light.  The newer 12 megapixel W80 is now available for $188.95 at BHphoto a major steel!

I constantly throw mine in my backpack with other gear and hike about 16 miles a week and has always performed reliably.  The image quality is above average for a point and shoot and it takes HD quality video.  I've had a lot of fun with the underwater feature while soaking at hot springs.  The first five photos on this page were taken with my W60

I would also buy the 2 year protection plan which covers anything you may do to it like run it over with a car for the extra $29.99 and maybe an extra battery although the one it comes with does last a very long time.  Hope this helps
