Interesting, thank you very much everyone for your help!

I went to a bike shop this afternoon and I found a really cute one that I like, but I'm not really sure what kind it was. It had bendy handlebars and it looked cruiser style but I'm not sure. I just ducked in quickly to get an idea of prices. I can't remember if it was single speed, but I think it was.

I guess after Christmas/New Year, I'll start to get a little more serious with my looking. Might even wait until I get back to university so I'm in a bigger town.

I'm really interested by the whole thing though, and can certainly see myself getting addicted to this whole bike thing haha!

Thank you to everybody, once again.
