I think a chunk of used tire looks more bad-ass.

I'm looking at getting a new road bike and was wondering what you guys would recommend?
I don't want to spend a lot of money on it right now just something I could use during the spring and summer for bike rides. Probably around $300-$500 max if that's doable or would it be worth it to spend a bit more?

At that price you would be buying pre-owned for sure, and even then the quality is questionable. It's not a lot of fun riding a bike with gears that don't shift too well, a road bike that's almost as heavier than some mountain bikes.
If you spent $600-800 on a pre-owned bike, it would be overall much better quality which would help to improve your riding experience, and also easier to resell at less of a loss if you decide its not for you (or you love it and want to upgrade).

Like UFO said, you won't get anything worthy with that price range.
Unless you're willing to pony up at least $800 to $1200, you might be able to get a crappy used hipster bike that rides like a tank for $500 (hipster tax included.)

You're going to need to spend at least 600$ for a decent used bike, and even then your going to have a hard time finding good deals

Even on a lot of the uphills, keep your RPM up and even though you don't think you can push that extra gear, just do it. Mind over matter.

If you can wait a bit. Sport Chek might have the same deal as last year with the Jamis line up. Blow out last years bikes, combined with a 20% off team assist coupon (Are they out this year yet) you can get a smokin' deal. My 105 spec'd Jamis was $900 with a $100 worth of free gear. The model under which would be fine for the recreational ride was around the $600 mark with the coupon.

+1 for Wiggle.com
Ordered on the Sunday, showed up on the Thursday, free shipping for over $100, and no duties.
Had to order 650c tubes&tires for my friends hipster single gear road bike, didn't even realize they made tires that small and Cannondale rims no-less. Can't believe she rode up to Grouse Parking on this thing, makes me look pathetic LOL.

I think it was West Point Cycles or Bike Gallery who made that bike, or rather, got it ordered.
