Oh & I might have been wrong about having family to help me look for a used bike. I went to my dad to talk about it with him today (because I'm still financially dependent on him) & got his approval. Then I went to my mom & stepdad today, & got a very sincere disapproval. Asked my mom if it would create a serious problem with us for me to get a bike, & she said she had to think about it. If she's opposed enough to kick me out because of it, I'll have to scratch the idea completely.
