I'm a person who rides on whatever bike they can get they're hands on. Now it's time to get serious. I'm not getting a car with these gas prices.
I want something that is good for commuting for about 20 miles a day or so every now and then. It's going to be my main means of transportation. I will be out on all type of weather as well. I need something that is light and easy to handle/push because I get tired really fast. I have a condition that I'm not going into. & I'm carrying a bag with all my crap that is at least 10lbs.
Style does matter to me. I want to ride in something I'll really like. It's the same as riding in a car you are proud of. Budget wise I'm looking to spend anywhere from $300-$600 or so.
I'm a sucker for red or black frames with a white deep wheel-set.
