21 speeds are nice. You have a wide variety of gears to allow you to pedal easily on almost any terrain. I use a Schwinn Gran Sport that's about 10 years old. I replaced the skinny seat with a real one. I ride 10-12 miles a day. To get a decent bike the entry fee is $300-400 new. You can probably pick up a used on for quite a bit less. Be sure to look for cracks in the frame. Almost any other problems can be fixed, assuming parts are available.
