Ok. Thank you. Craigslist is a good idea. I've been looking there too, I just wanna make sure the bicycle I choose is gonna be a good one.
I've never rode a bicycle with the low, dropped handlebars ...only your typical walmart ones with the handlebars straight out... I really don't care about the height of the handlebars as long as it's not an uncomfortable ride to school. (i will probably be carrying a backpack with my laptop and a notebook).
keep any recommendations coming! Always good to have more opinions and advice!
Ok so to add some more info then:
I live in Raleigh, NC. (fairly large city; 1-2 million people)
I'm a 20year old male. Very small. I'm 5'4" (164cm) and only about 125lb.
