I'm considering buying a bicycle for commuting back and forth to school, but I am way confused! I'm not sure what kind of bike would be best suited for commuting (less than 5-10 miles), and what size bike to get. I am 5'3" with a 27" inseam. Cruisers are super cute, but I dunno how well they handle paved roads. But I don't want a bike where I will have to hunch over all the time - a backpack is bad enough! Any ideas? Thanks!
