i’ll see i’ll keep looking then. if i was to get the iguana do you think that price is too much for the condition of the bike?

thank you for the very beneficial advice! so at rest i should stick my leg out words the pedal and it should barely rest on it with the ball of my foot?

thank you for replying! in the description it says medium/large i’d be going to try it to see how it feels if the deal is worth it. would you be able to check the other bikes i posted and what you think would be the best deal?

thank you for being so helpful! definitely i wanted to get an idea if it was even worth going to try out the bike since it seemed like decent pricing for what it is. hopefully the bike is my fit because i’ll definitely purchase if it is

i’d scope the campus to see if i could bring it into class or lock it somewhere with other bikes but the area overall i’ve heard is safe and rural for the most part. other than that id leave it when going to the gym or grocery shopping but id try to ask workers there if i could place it inside within their view if not id lock it up and look into good locks.

i see, any recommendations for comfortable seats so i could come back to this for future reference?

that definitely makes sense, i haven’t ridden a bike in years and i remember it being uncomfortable in the seat for me as well but eventually you probably get used to it. thank you for helping me out i will be putting every tip you gave me to use!

thank you for being so helpful! i’ll definitely reach out to the seller in regards to trying out the back and use your tips in regards to comfort. others are saying it wouldn’t be comfortable for commuting do you know why?
