Just know your size.
Yep.
Since the OP is just looking for a inexpensive commuter and not planning on racing, hitting any hard trails, or touring across the country, and only wants to spend $150, Craigslist is a good choice.
OP, just look for a Trek, Giant, Specialized, or Fuji. Find one about $50 less than your budget, do a test ride to make sure it fits and that the brakes and gears workl. Then take it to a bike shop and get a tune-up.
There's nothing new for $150 that's worth buying.
