I've recently been given roughly $300 in birthday money and was thinking about getting a bike.
I'm a girl (if it matters) and I just would like to ride my bike casually through town. No rough roads, rare steep hills, and I'd like to maybe ride fast enough to out run a dog if any should choose to chase me.
What type of bike should I look at getting? Especially if I want to ride fast but only on wide, paved side-roads?
What price range am I looking at? Is there anything else I should consider?
And finally, the only place I can get a bike around here is Walmart, would that be an okay place to buy one? I'm pretty sure I don't want/need custom made. Thanks!
