So, I don't actually own a bike. My roommate owns one and I tried to learn on his but his is just way too big for me, I moved the seat all the way in but it's hard for me to even pedal all the way because they extend beyond my feet. So I'm thinking of buying a smaller bike.
Some things about me:
1. I don't actually know how to ride a bike. When I was a kid everyone was riding skateboards, no one bikes. So I learned how to ride a skateboard. But I haven't done that since I was about 13. So, I'd like one that's easy to ride.
2. At this point, I'm looking for a cheap bike. This is just to make sure that I can utilize it and ride it properly. If this all works out well I'll get a better bike later. So cheap is a must.
3. The bike will be used for commuting I guess. It looks like I want a road bike? I don't know much about the types.
4. Where I live biking is not possible most of the year, though it is possible June, July, August. Maybe last couple weeks of May and first couple of September. Before I get arguments, yes, I could ride in late April/Early May and probably into most of October and I won't get hypothermia, but we can still get snow and freezing temperatures during those times, and I'm not a hearty cold guy, so I probably won't. So I don't really need a bike that can get through snow, and I don't want to pay extra for one that can because I won't use that.
5. I don't really know what size I need? So I looked at Walmart and I don't think the sizes there match up with what I'm seeing. It looks like I should be looking for something like a Size 52 or 54. I think the bikes on Walmart are using a different scale.
Any recommendations?
