I'll definitely pop into REI again(this time with proper shoes for test riding, lol) to see what I like. I also want to ask if I can have an outlet order shipped to the store as well, like their normal store orders. I'm pretty sure I can though. And yes, I'm checking it out, but when I first considered commuting a few months ago I was still thinking that under two hundred would get me a solid, reliable bike. I'm not used to thinking of something that's almost four hundred dollars as being low end. o.o Just a perspective shift. But much more affordable than trying to get a car.
