I (very passively) shopping for a bike to ride. I'm so overwhelmed! They range from like... $75 at walmart to $90,023,302,325 and I have no idea what the difference is!

I mean, I get that something that is $500 is going to be better than something that is $100, but its' hard for me to gauge what I really need, and what I should probably not settle for.

I'm trying to find something in the $100-$200 range that I can just ride around town for something to get me out of the house. I live in St. George, so I assume there are mountain biking trails around too.

I know there's a pretty big bike culture in LA and I could probably build a bike out of used parts if I knew the right people, but I don't! I don't mind buying off of craig's list, but that is even harder for me to know if I'm getting a good deal or not.

Can anyone help? Tell me what to buy or what to do! I'm too afraid to trust online reviews, I can't afford something expensive, and I don't want a crappy bike I won't enjoy riding.

I actually have a burnt orange UT 2005 Champion cruiser I've been trying to unload. I won it in a raffle and it's too big for me to ride. Sad

Not sure if you're a Longhorns fan though....

What? it has a sports team on it? I can't ride that. It would just... shame me too much to be seen riding something with sports memorabilia.

I'm not proud of how immature that seems, but I just couldn't.

But if it's just an orange bike, I'm cool with that!

Your response definitely makes me think that Electra would be the bike for you...

Haha, yeah. This baby's got UT Longhorns plastered all over it.

In a related question, is there any way to MacGyver a bike that's too big for you into one that fits?

Yes, but you need an emory board, a pair of tweezers, and dental floss.... Wink

My skills are as varied as they are impractical.
