Me and my husband recently picked up this bike for free from a friend, we both are interested in commuting by bike. He normally skates to work. And I normally walk, because I’m just learning how to skate. We wanted to know if because it’s old anything should be done to it, maintenance or what not.
It’s pretty rusty cause the previous owner didn’t want it and left it outside for years (despite having a garage).
Also if anyone has tips / resources that’d be appreciated.
I’m kinda familiar with bicycles as I had one as a kid, but my husband is not. Never was taught how to ride but he rides very well for someone never taught. Probably due to the fact that although he wasn’t taught how to ride a bike he learned how to skateboard and ride a scooter as a kid.

That’s a cruiser, for casual rides. Not really suitable for a commute, unless if it is really brief.
Either way, I think you should just ride it around a park, to get a taste of how it feels. Try it for shopping; if that feels ok, then you can then think bigger eg short commutes.
