i like the look of that bike for sure, but thanks for the tip it's usually crap quality. i want something practical that also looks nice and isn't just a regular bike. style is, unfortunately, important to me.
https://velo-orange.com/ is basically what they're going for. I've ordered apparel from state (they have right to the Simpsons), and they aren't even capable of shipping a t-shirt without a hole (I gave them three shots before cancelling the order. I have a Surly (the brand MDS was recommending) and I love it, the same company owns all city which has pretty similar bikes and price points. If you're only going a couple of miles and have no intention of getting into cycling, you may be better off saving your money though
