I want to start cycling the 3~4km to work instead of taking the bus or just plain walking but have no idea where to even begin looking at bikes or even just what to watch out for in general.
Are there any good reputable brands you could recommend or some sites where I could read up on things?
My commute is 100% city streets, so I don't really need a mountain bike or anything of the sort. I think the biggest thing I'm looking for is just for it to be fairly light, I don't really know enough about the subject to give much more info than that, sorry. I guess I'm looking to spend maybe 500$ max? I don't really know how much good quality hardware costs but I guess I'd be looking more on the budget side of things for now.
