Newbie needs help on whether to buy this bike or not!
Hi I have not purchased a bike in years and would like a road bike for getting to and from University and to and from the gym.
Here is the one I'm interested in, its used and will cost 125$. Worth the money?
If it isn't worth it could someone recommend something else? I'm open to spending up to 300$ if the bike is good quality and will last.
Thanks for reading!

I think this bike would be fine for riding distances of 5 miles or less. If it's in good working order, then it's probably worth the $125. Spin the wheels to make sure they're true (no wobbles), ride the bike to make sure all three (?) gears and the coaster brake and front brake works. Looks like it's in good condition.
