I don’t have much advice on brand. I think all of the name brands are great. Specialized, Cannondale etc. Definitely avoid the big box stores that sell heavy cheaply made bicycles. You can get name brand used bikes all over Richmond if needed.

I will say, go somewhere that will let you test ride the bicycle. Make sure it’s comfortable for you and has the features you want. I have 5 bicycles and each one has a different feel to it. Some I like better than others.

This is true, and at a steep discount. All you need is a pair of bolt cutters and a little car jack, and the world's your oyster

You took that a different direction than I was expecting. I will admit to being highly suspicious of people with bolt cutters who are not in a construction/handyman van.

I am also now recommending a good lock.

I've been searching for a used gravel bike for ages, either I'm looking in the wrong places or there ain't much market for that. Mountain and road bikes yeah, but not gravel...
