I know nothing about bikes but since my car broke down I'm looking for a road bike to get me around Berkeley (In addition to using public transit). Mostly for short 1 mile, 1-way trips to save some time. At most I probably will probably go 5 miles to get to the Berkeley marina.

Anyways, is this a deal or not?

Or anyone selling a bike in the $200 range? I definitely want a road bike, and like the idea of ss, but am not sure if I'll get annoyed with it after a while.
