What bike should I get for college?
I’m going to school at LMU in Los Angeles this year, and will need a new (to me) bike for crossing campus, exploring the city, etc…
I know it will be smart not to own the nicest bike on campus, but other than that tidbit, I’m at a complete loss when it come to buying a bike for school. Should I get a SS or fixie? Or should I get something more like a MTB with street tires?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dev
What’s with the craze for fixed gear bikes? Terrible for climbing hills or riding into a stiff breeze. Get a good (but not too good) performance hybrid or road bike with 700C tires. Add a rear rack & panniers to toss your books & other stuff into. And buy a GOOD U-Bolt lock with a thick cable. Learn how to lock up your bike properly. 1st link below.
If I were a college kid again – I’d be looking through craigslist for a used Raleigh, Specialized, Giant, Trek, Cannondale or other quality brand. Avoid ads that claim “vintage” or “classic” road bike. Keys words meaning old, out-dated & heavy bicycle.
Want to see a great commuter bike? 2nd link. A 2009 Diamondback Insight RS I found on R.E.I’s outlet web site for a mere $244.00! Already came with fenders & a rear rack I added the inexpensive Axiom panniers. 3rd link.
