All I want is one of those utility bicycles. I'll ride it around the campus, I'll go around town with it... that's it.

And I have to pay $400+ for that shit? Wtf?

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time,
somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know,
I want to set those people over there on fire, but
I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

they are expensive because it's an alternative mode of transportation opposed to gas....

It's usually the material they're made out of more than just the bicycle itself. But even then there are still some complicated components; shifters, derailers, etc. Unless you get a single speed bike which I would advise heavily against.

Yeah, I think I'll just keep looking around. I swear, all these bike shops around my place are selling these $400+ bikes and it's crazy. I'll probably go for a used one or something if I can't find any cheaper.

Used bikes are FINE, as long as the tires are in decent shape.
