Check out this app to track your rides called Relive, it's pretty dope. It's plots out your whole route once you're finished with your ride. I also use an app called Strava to keep track of all my excursions as well since it's the most popular one atm.

TBH I got the bread for a new one but I don't know enough about bikes to buy from someone...do you know anything I should look out for if I buy off craigslist or from FB market or whatever?
How tall are you? Do you want something sporty or comfy? Geared or single speed? As long as you know your size, you can pretty much get whatever you want from CL and be straight as long as the frame hasn't been in a major accident. All brands measure differently, so use charts as a general base and then cross check with the manufacturers recommendations before proceeding with any serious inquiries.
5'7 and I'm looking for a hybrid. Geared preferably. What size bike should I get? I went to go do a "bike fitting" but COVID fukked that up.
Somewhere around the 54cm range *generally*, make sure to double check with the manufacturer's recommendations because they all measure differently. Some do stand-over height, others go by top tube length. You can always ask the CL seller how tall they are and how well it fit them as well. Bikes don't have to be an expensive investment, it's really all about the engine (you) that's running it.
@Wildin always has better advice than me though. Maybe he can chime in and help you too @Clutch Robinson
17 inches is right. 16 if you're a little shorter, 18 if you're a little taller.

Shout out to my man a few posts up who bought a bmx.
I just bought a 24” old man bmx to ride while I stay out of the gym for the summer.
Midlife crisis indeed.

Bikes have been flying off the shelves since the pandemic started.
I just got a tune up to my bike not too long ago. It's riding much much smoother.

a lot of celebrities are doing it which makes me want to buy one. Do y'all ride on the road or on the sidewalk? My city doesn't have a good bike lane.
