hi all! am considering buying this bike & would appreciate any and all input because i know next to nothing about bikes.
would just be used for commuting & leisure riding on paved trails in the city. for reference i live in seattle (which is very very hilly), and am a 5’9” female. would this be a good beater to get me started? it’s being posted for $50.
thanks in advance!

It’s a perfect first bike, especially for $50, with three chainrings up front it will give you smaller gears for riding up hill and the wide tires mean crushed gravel won’t be a problem
I would recommend finding a community or non-profit bike shop to do a tune up if it hasn’t been ridden in years, even just a safety check would be inexpensive or free
These kind of shops specialize in bikes like this and will teach you about maintenance and have used supplies if necessary and help other people find inexpensive refurbished bikes
