Ouch. How could that even have happened?
Overprotective parents.  Never biked, roller-bladed, ice-skated...sigh.

When in Brazil for the year I went hang-gliding. And told my father about it after I landed...

Depends where you plan on riding it.
Might be worth upgrading to the next level for some more gear options.

So we have a couple of bikes headed our way, thanks OP :)

Except...I've never been on a bike in my life  :'(

Should I just get the base model? Or are any of the upgrades or speeds worthwhile?

7 speed

Locally?

CLE is not a very hilly place.

7 speed
Worth the extra money? Because?
This is all assuming that at 30 years old someone can teach an old dog a new trick.

Only reason I wouldn't splurge on 7 speed is because if you do start biking ( and you should :) then this may not be the best bike for you and you may rather want to put the money into a different bicycle.

I'd invest in a different seat. But that's me. Usually the first thing I change on a new bike.

Didn't know it was extra. You need different gears depending on how fast you peddle. Some don't like to get off their bike to cross the street. You want a low gear for that. Basically it is just like a car with manual transmission. Have you ever seen/heard one of those?  ;)

You get the single speed runabout free and can upgrade for the prices I wrote above.

I would go with the three speed. These bikes sure are expensive.

To be honest with the 100 upgrade I don't even know if this bike is worth 100.

Which 3 speed?
Or should I just stick with the free one and see if I even use it?

I'd prefer the 3 speed Runabout.
Though if you're getting one for your other half as well she may prefer the Catalina for its Tznius factor :)

How many are you getting? Can you order one and then wait on the others?

+1

Here's pretty much all you need to know about shifting gears:
•If you're going uphill and it's too difficult, shift down.
•If your legs are spinning the pedals way too fast (it's too "easy") then shift up.

Stick with the free one, if you pay them anything they beat you at your own game.

That sounds familiar, didn't tell my parents that I'm venturing into the amazon rainforest or other stuff till I was back too.
