Hi.
Here's my situation. I recently graduated from college and am moving to Virginia. I need a bike for riding into work and back, and for recreation with my girlfriend and exercise. The trip from where I will be living is at most 5 miles from where I will be working. I figure a bike will ease the commute and save me money of gas in the long run, besides being better for me and most importantly the environment.
I recieved 200 bucks in money at
www.amazon.com . I want to use this money as a starting point for what I will need at first (bike, helmet, gloves, ???) On top of that credit I have 150-200 bucks that I can spend.
I'm a big guy, 6' 3" and 215 pounds.
The bikes I have considered the most are listed here as links to amazon.com
Micargi Super M3000

Are any of these serviceable? I do want to get into using a bike as a means of transportation (at least for a good deal of my transit) but as a recent grad cannot spend 2000 dollars on a designer bike. If none of these bikes is recommended, can anyone say something that is quality for what I will be spending?
Thanks. If I can give any more info that will be helpful please know. Thanks to you all.
