Get the cheapest thing you can.
Bikes get stolen at college. I don’t care how well you lock it up; your bike is at risk. I’ve heard of traveling thieves who clean out entire bike racks all at once. I’ve even seen frames locked to racks with every part stolen — even headset cups.
$80 is a limiting price point. Spend $20 on a lock, and the rest on your steed.
If you have to cover miles, ride a cruiser with a coaster brake. If your ride is short and flat, rock an old BMXer. Somewhere, at a garage sale near you, is a sweet old chrome Diamondback …
Get a great education. Get a great job. Buy great bikes.
