I have no idea why. Here, you can buy such city bikes at every corner, reasonably priced. Also a good chain protection, a gear hub and hydraulic brakes would be nice. (The hydraulic brakes don't freeze so easily in cold winters.)

Can somebody recommend an (online) store where I can find such a bike? Hopefully for less than 1000$. At home, big sports shops usually also have a large collection of, often cheap, city bikes. One of these might be just fine for a year. I don't know if this is true for the US too, as city bikes with lights seem to be very uncommon.

Thank you in advance for tips!
