I moved to Portland, Oregon a few months ago and am looking at purchasing a bike. Unfortunately, I don't really know WHAT I need. I'm a graduate student; so, I have several books/articles that I haul around, along with a laptop computer. I'm guessing fenders would be a good investment, as it's pretty rainy here ~nine months out of the year. My general commute would be ~five miles one way, with some hills. As a graduate student, and having not rode in...15 years, I'm looking for a deal. So, any suggestions on what to look for? Brands? Types of bike? etc
Many thanks,
Gage
