You shouldn't avoid riding against traffic because cops will pull you over for it; you should avoid it because it's a terrible, dangerous idea!
You're much safer acting like a car.

I have to say, I'm pretty skeptical about that aspect of your business model. But you're the one with lawn service experience, so good luck.

According to Google Maps, a route from downtown Oklahoma City to Rose State College is about 8 miles and mostly flat. I think a single speed will be at least adequate for that, if not ideal. Your only problem there will be that a single speed will either have poor acceleration or a limited cruising speed, depending on how you gear it.
I still think you could gotten a better bike for less money, but I guess it's too late now.
...Actually, scratch that: looking at the
specs, that's pretty terrible. You could get a
much better bike for
much less money. The margin is wide enough that I think it's worth returning that Sun and looking for something different. Namely, the
Specialized Hard Rock cliffordK posted -- that's the
same bike I have, and I can personally attest that it is a great choice. Buy it! Buy it now!
Let me put it this way: if you wanted me to give up my Hard Rock in favor of your Sun, you'd have to
pay me to take the Sun. And then I would promptly hock it and buy another Hard Rock instead. It's
that much better.
