So I'm 18 and have this really awesome 2001 red mustang gt that I bought and been modding...only 1 problem...gas prices. When I baby this thing I get 18 mpg and when I drive it how I want to I get 13. I live in Smithfield, RI which is rural suburbia heaven () so public transport is not an option. Therefore cycling seems to be the best and most fun option. Now keeping the theme of an economic alternative (i'm a bit frugal) I'm looking to spend between $200-$300 on the bike itself. I've read the tips for newbies so I'm shopping around for the accessories I will need. Basically I just would like some suggestions on what type of bike would work best for me. I would be using it mainly to commute 6 miles round trip to work and 10 miles round trip to school. Thanks in advance.
