that sounds great, but I am not going to live there until Sept... but I'll be visiting before then. I wonder if there is a place to store a bike for awhile? Perhaps I should just wait and buy one when I get there.

I think it's worth it to buy even if your only staying for a week. I had no trouble selling mine after two months of had riding for what I paid for it. I even made a little profit (I traded it to a hotel mrg for a $370bz tab)
