<p>Can someone recommend or comment what is the best bike to buy for riding around campus. I was thinking about a basic bike with coaster brakes. And can you ride around in the winter months...are the sidewalks cleared enough or is it too cold or is that not a wise idea.</p>
<p>A cheap one. I hear you can use it until it snows (which makes sense). ND offers winter storage (in the stadium apparently).</p>
<p>Both are true, but if you want to use it in the Winter definitely get a cheap one. I don't know how but what happens to a lot of the bikes that are not kept in storage is that their wheels get misshapen, it is quite odd. Anyways, the bike will get trashed by the South Bend winter, so get something you don't mind buying again next year.</p>
