I am 5’1-5’3 (Not sure exactly but definitely in that range). I will be riding around campus/the city and on trails about 5-10miles a day. I would like to stay under $400. I havent been able to find many good used bikes in the area. I will keep looking for used bikes, but if i cant find anything I will likely go with 1 of these 3 bikes. I just need a decent bike that’ll last until graduate. Other reccomendations are welcomed.
**I am currently deciding between:**
\- Atlas Fitness Hybrid Bike – Step Through 21 Speed (Legacy) **$299.99**

I this price range when buying new I think Decathlon is the answer, especially if you have a store nearby.
I wouldn’t get the riverside 500 though, purely due to the fact that it has a suspension fork, it adds weight and complexity and is entirely unnecessary if you’re riding roads.
The RC100 would be my pick, don’t be put off by the drop handlebars, that model of bike is very casual and upright and is designed as an entry into drop bar bikes.
