Well, looks don't really matter I guess. I just would like a bike that won't go all wobbly on me when cars pass at 40-50mph. I'm in school usually from 8am-6pm. So it's just breaking daylight when I go, and the sun is just setting when I come home. Driving in the dark might become an issue at certain times of the year. Traffic isn't that bad at all and the climate is usually bearable at the times I listed.

I have a car (that gets terrible gas mileage ) for the cold/rainy days though.

I'll look into those Schwinns though, thanks guys.
