Complete newbie here. Any ideas? What kind of bike? Its going across campus, so not too bumpy.. it also needs to be a little on the cheaper side, but not so cheap that it sacrifices good quality... and how many gears do i need? Can anybody point me to a good company or a particular bike? Thank you!
 
Cheap and not so cheap are in the same family. Don't buy a bike from Walmart or other department store. Look for something used that came from a bike shop. Getting the correct size it the most important thing. look for a hybrid or a comfort bike, they are cheaper the a road bike. Most bikes have 21 speeds, more then enough to get around.
