newbie, needs guidance
hey guys, ill be going to college this august in DC, and i would like to have a nice bike so i can dodge the car most of the time.
guide me through the process of choosing which brands (remember they are ALL new to me, as well as all your terminologies)
i was looking at Konas, they seem pretty cool.
i need a nice light ride that will be perfect for the city and metro stations but at the same time allow me to tear up the hills and parks and tracks when i want.
the kona dew and smoke 2-9 look pretty darn cool for what i need but you guy's opinion would be much appreciated. i dont even know if those bikes are what i need. it would be nice if the bike already came with a little tiny rack on the back for maybe grocery store trips to get mah fruit in college!!!!
thx guys
