Looking to buy a bike...
The models, variations and price ranges are overwhelming.

Needs:
-for flat azz FL, when I am here in the winter season.
-sidewalk/street. No off road...
-One speed, (like my old Schwinn of 55 years ago), 3 speeds or multi-speed?
-Fatter, more normal width tires?
-Size? I am 6'1", (though shrinking), and ~212 lbs, 34" inseam.
-Weight of bike I should be considering?
-$300 or less? $400 tops, imo. It will get used for ~5 months a year.

Last non motorized skinny tire/multi gear/fast bike I owned was a hot Schwinn SuperSport, circa 1972.

-Just something I can buy, adjust to my size, and start riding, easing into it again.

Don't think I need a Ferrari class for easy riding around our community here in SW FL.

Any brands/models to look at/avoid?

The net is full of way too many options, as usual.
Thanks...
