Yes, I'm a poor college student. :P But, I'm happy to getting a cheap ed, so it goes with the territory, no? Anyway, someone stole my bike, and so I'm now in the market for another. Thing is, I don't have a job at the moment, and once I get it, my paycheck is already divided into paying off various debts, so I really don't have much $$$ to spend.
My dad says that I should get a chainless bike, but I really canNOT afford $600 atm.I'd like to know what to look for, as I troll various sources. I'll be mainly biking on roads, and I'm a newb. Not a complete newb, but I'm definitely not pro.
- Since I have no idea what the future holds, should I get an all-terrain bike?
- Also, I noticed that there's different heights on bikes - how do I know (without trying it out) what is the right measurement for me? Is there a formula for that or something?
- I'll need lights and a lock, right? (Told you I was a newb!)
- Anything I should know before I plunge into the world of biking?
I think those are all my questions atm. Help is SO appreciated!

- Common sense biking: whatever goes down must eventually come back up. And, whatever goes up most likely will come back down. -
