My commute to school is about 2.5 miles of city traffic in a busy part of town.

Any bike suggestions, or any other suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!!!
I'm your size and recently purchased a specialized expedition low entry 7speed from my local bike shop, it's Large size & I love it! Very comfortable for my 5 mile rides. Mine was about $450 including tax. hope that helps!
