Do you have any recommendations? I've seen new bike prices but they all seem to be in the hundreds to the thousands, yikes!
I'm on a shoestring budget.

Your best bet is used. You can tell if a bike is in good working order by riding it. Take it for a spin, go thru all the gears, front and back, try to stop as hard as you can from a relative fast speed. Take a look at the gears, make sure all the teeth look the same (some cogs, have two or three alike in a row with a different one every so often). You could change a chain and tires if not in good order).
