Hi all,
My job is moving to NYC so I'll be taking a bus to work every day. The park-n-ride is about 4 miles from my house. I thought it would be cool to pick up a street bike to get back and forth at least while the weather is nice. I know very little about them and am looking for a recommendation on what a good choice is for that purpose and tooling around a bit on the weekends. I don't need (nor can I afford) a crotch rocket but wouldn't mind something peppy. I have no idea what to look for in a used bike or what's considered high mileage on these things.
Suggestions/advice would be appreciated.....only looking to spend $2,500 or less.
