Looking for an inexpensive used bike for a short-term (5 month) job with a 1.2 mile commute. The terrain is 80% flat, with a couple of mild inclines/hills (one or two places I foresee I might have to walk the bike up, until I hopefully build up my leg strength).
Am thinking of pic related, which seller describes as follows:
>Huffy Overland Bike. Approximate height range for rider: 5'0" to 6'0". Brakes could use a little bit of tuning but otherwise, bike is functional. It's a hybrid between a mountain bike and cruiser.
Asking $50.
Tips, please, on what to look for if I decide to check it out and do a test drive.
Is the brake issue ("could use a little bit of tuning") a red flag? I have no idea how to tune bicycle brakes.
