Pamela S asked:
I’ve recently decided that I’d like to bike to work. I work about 4 miles from my home, and am wondering if anyone has advice about a decent, affordable commuter bike. Lightweight would also be a plus, since I would like to carry it into my apartment rather than leave it outside for parts to be stolen (even if it’s locked, anything not bolted down goes missing in this neighborhood unfortunately). If it helps, I’m female and 5′2, and have no interest in riding competitively.
