Wow! Thanks for the great advice. Because of my finances
(I'm a third year medical student) I think that I will
probably try to find a cheap used mountain bike and spend
the money to upgrade the tires/seat. Once I can afford to
spend more, I will probably be able to seriously look at
the bikes that Chalo mentioned. BTW, what is a GBP?

Dear George,

Probably not a bicycling term, but just a Gastric By-Pass.
We often confuse each other with enigmatic initials and
acronyms on RBT.

Med students don't do GBP until fourth year.

Or a Great Britain Pound, depending on the author.

Hey, why stop there? In this case the poster was probably
talking about a 43846 or 43847, which (sadly) they don't
really teach in med school either.

Dear James,

The billing clerks at one OB/GYN office named their fish of
unknown gender "Sal" and pasted a mailing label with "58720"
on his or her fish-bowl to tease me.
