I had no idea what I was doing but ever since I tested out a Cannondale I realized I really wanted to start riding. Of course, the price was WAY out of my budget zone so after desperately searching through Craigslist I found a 2011 Terry Symmetry bike on sale for $500. I really liked it and enjoyed how it felt so I managed to negotiate it down to $440. I'm 5'1 and this bike is a size 46. I don't know anything about bikes so I wanted your input to see if it was a good deal and if I should add anything to it or just any tips in general about cycling as I find myself too scared to start using it around my campus because of all the people/ my lack of riding experience.

Anytime that you can buy a bike that you enjoy for less than $500 is a great deal!

You may want to get wider tires, ie 25cc for better stability if you want to use it as a travel bike around campus
