For the record, I bought a bike right after writing this. $100 at Target. $118, if you count the seat I got with it. (The default seat was rather painful.) Tried a number of the thrift stores, but none had adult-sized bikes.

This is advice I give to all who ride bicycles:
Make sure it fits. For a bike bought at Target, this essentially translates to “Make sure the seat is the proper height” and “Make sure the handlebars are the proper height”. Your knees will thank you.

*heh* Thanks. This is pretty much what I look for in a bike. Well, the seat part, at any rate, Not so sure yet about the handlebars…

Actually, I think it was more. I ate fifteen of these mini bars I got for free after doing some work selling posters. I’m not sure if each was 1/5 the size of a full Powerbar or 1/3. In either case, I was fired up.
