I appreciate the sentiment but aside from the fact that I'm uncomfortable with buying anything off of Craigslist, I'd like to have a new bike to learn with rather than one that could be used and potentially have issues (I wouldn't know exactly what to look for at this point anyway).



I live in a townhouse and the little patio on the back is very small and already has the A/C and the grill out there. I have a feeling that my parents wouldn't be too keen on me using that space up. I'm also a little worried about what might happen to it when it's exposed to the elements. There's no overhang to protect it from rain either.

As I mentioned above, I'm not really comfortable with Craigslist in general but I have taken a look and found a grand total of 0 listings in my area for folding bikes.

And yes Jur, I did read the FAQ.
