Honestly, do you have any recommendations? I have never owned a bike before. No clue where to look or start. I'm trying to keep it under $300 because I don't even know if it'll be used much. I also know to not go out and buy whatever Wally World has on sale.

I assume i'd get a hybrid because the majority of cruises would be on the street.

Do not go to walmart or any big box store. Their bike are junk. I call them throw away bikes. You use them for a season and throw them away. They'll need so much work at the end of the season that it will cost at least double the original cost of the bike to repair them.

Without knowing what your local bike shops carry, there's no way for me to give you a recommendation. I can tell you that anything you're going to want to put the bafang set up on is going to be over $300. If you were out here, I could get you a great deal. Three of my friends own bike shops.

Yeah, $300 ain't going to cut it. The last bike I bought was $2,200 back in 2003.
