a p2 is not a bike to ride to class, cause it would be stolen instantly. if you want a good commuter bike, get somethin for like 100-400, rigid or hardtail. slick tires.

Go to the Goodwill and buy a used road bike, pay for it to get fixed up and you'll be money.

dude, i rode my kona stinky to class all the time, but the ultimate getting around bikes are 24 inch cruisers. they are cheap, nothing gets broken, and you can haul ass through town, and have some fun too. haro and dk make cheap ones.

Jamis
Rocky Mountain

Kona
Specialized*
Orange
Banshee
Santa Cruz
Norco
Mountain Cycle
Oryx
Iron Horse
GaryFisher

Here are some of the top companies, now cause you just want a desent bike that is good, you sohuld go with a Specialized or a Brodie, because your paying for the bike not the name (Rocky Moutain), and the bikes have good compenets and pricing.
