hey guys
i'm recently bikeless and would like to get another one. both my job and my school are really close to me and i'd like to get by day to day without having to drive and pay for gas(i'm kinda low on funds at the moment). i've only ever bought like walmart bikes and the like so i really dont know anything about the rest of the world of bicycles.

i was looking to spend maybe 300ish bucks on a bike?
preferably a single gear for simplicity but when i asked the guy at the bike shop about single-gears the only thing he showed me was a catalogue full of 700 dollar bikes

honestly i just want something that will LAST for the ABSOLUTE cheapest price i can get it.
thanks D
