Tell me about bicycles!

SE++ I want to buy a bicycle!

However, I know nothing about bicycles! I know they have wheels and are mostly ridden by assholes who hate cars, BUT I think I can be a cool bike rider person!

I want something I can ride around LA with and not die or have fall apart.

What makes a good bicycle? What should I look for? Good brands? Bad brands? Cool stuff?

HELP ME SE++ YOU ARE PROBABLY MY ONLY HOPE

Are bikes like this hip and in style still?

Bigger is better in bikes right?

    not knowing how to ride a bike is weirder than not knowing how to drive

    Homeless guys always have the best bikes. Custom three wheelers with stereo sytems.

    My mom was 28 when she got her license. Me and my brother were driving cars before we hit puberty. He had a 79 Pontiac Sunbird and I had an 83 Malibu Station Wagon.

    Man, I do not get license requirements in other places.

    In SoDak, it was like "You're 14? Here, drive with this learner's permit for two weeks, then we'll give you your restricted. You can't drive after 8:00 until you're 16, though."

    Then I hear about anywhere else and it's like "Guys, I'm so excited! I just turned 25, so now I have a restricted license! This is so much better than that learner's permit I've had since I turned 22. I can't wait for it to turn into a real, normal license in seven years!"

    Riding a bike in much of NYC means you are either well paid to do so, or you have a death wish
