Wheels are a problem. WM bikes have garbage wheels. Even if you fix the uneven spoke tensions (which you'll absolutely have to do to go five feet), you'll start pulling spokes through the tissue-paper rims very quickly. Suspension forks are also a nonstarter; they're all noodley crap and none will have enough preload to support the front end.

If there aren't any used rigid mountain bikes in good shape, this is where you want to be. 36 spokes per wheel with real, quality rims and hubs. I'm sure you're over the weight limit for it, but that'll be true of every bike in your price range. This design is most likely to hold up.

EDIT: This guy would also be excellent. Maybe even better, I'm liking the thicker fork tubing. I'd take it over BD's Avenue FX (mentioned in another comment) for the V-brakes and internal headset bearings.

If thats your price range I would check craigslist. Go for the good names like Schwinn or even Trek. Grab two locks, a Ulock for the front wheel to the frame and a chain lock for the back wheel and frame to a post. Have gotten wheels, seats, etc stolen off my bike so learned that the hard way.

You may want to do the Hudson bike share for a month or two while saving up for a solid bike. Roads here are torn up so if you ride on cheap tires you'll get a flat on the first day. I bought a Critical Cycles Harper Single Speed as my first for 200.00 on Amazon. Poured 300 on it in maintenance / replacement parts in the last 6 months. The crankset snapped one day while I was up in the saddle and took a hard spill. I'll never cheap out on a bike like that again.

A)Look for a cheap used bike on craigslist and take it to a bike shop to get fixed up.
B)Do the Hudson bike share until you're comfortable spending 500+ on a complete bike.

If I didn't love riding single speed so much, I'd probably drop the money and ride this as my daily commuter. Just look out for the cheap no name brands that try to make their bikes look aesthetically pleasing with cheap parts.

thanks man I will get either a MTB or a Hybrid. I think hybrids are best I was considering this

But as you say wider tires and comfort is important to me and I agree, my local shop has a very nice matte satin black Fuji Nevada 1.9 26 inch wheels for a very good price. Has off road tires but my short distance shouldn't be an issue for me using it on asphalt? plus I could always replace it with smoother tires offcourse the link I posted is another one I really like and its a hybrid
