I want to ride my bike! [video=youtube;2CTPLUcQAjk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CTPLUcQAjk[/video]
No seriously.. I do....just I need to get one first!
On a serious note, I'm wondering if any of you are bicycle fans know your stuff, since I'm looking for a new bike as I have drastically outgrew my lime green mountain bike i had when i was 7....I'm now 17, so those 10 extra years of muscle milk grew me up to 6'2" and so I look like king kong on the old green monster of mine.
However, I'll be heading off yo college soon (4 months?) and have to keep in mind practicality of the bike in question, so regardless of brand or model I realllllly want to get a folding bike. This way if i do drop my 300-400$ budget on a nice one, I can fold it up and keep it safe in my dorm.
So...Folding bike, would like more than one speed... and just needs to be something that can withstand gravel roads, sidewalks and the occasional emergency route through the grass... Any ideas?
so far I'm sorta leaning towards something like this (obviously NOT the color.....) http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp?product_category_id=1&product_id=24
None the less something along the lines of the multiple speed folding bike, My art teacher keeps urging me to go for a Dahon: http://www.nycewheels.com/dahon-folding-bike.html
And i agree from what I have read, though the only problem is $$$
