These are aesthetically pleasing to me...
I like a more vintage look. I don't know too much about bicycles unfortunately. What speed, size, etc. I would absolutely love advice.
Here are a few that caught my interest on Craigslist:
Schwinn woman's 10 speed varsity rd bike $100
Schwinn Cruiser 1950's, beautiful, amazing condition, excellent parts $200
1975 lady's schwinn Collegiate $150
Schwinn Vintage bicycle $150
Vintage Schwinn Collegiate $200
Ladies 5 speed Sears 18 1/2 inch cruiser $135
Ladies 1970's Schwinn Suburban $175
*1970* Ladies Schwinn Varsity $195
beautiful bike for shorter lady $100
Retro Bicycle - With Baskets $125
Pair of Vintage Beach Cruiser Beachcomber mens & women $200
Note: I want to add a basket to the front, if there isn't already one.
Question: Any helmet recommendations?

There are specific womens helmets too, try to get one of those. They allow for things like ponytails.
If you get a one speed bike, you can't adjust the level of resistance the bike gives when you pedal, but they're generally cheaper and require less maintenance. If you're just riding around Portland, a one speed is a good choice. Bicycling is a really fun way to get exercise too! :D
I cant recommend against a one speed bike enough. The hills around PSU are going to be killer with only one speed. There is a reason bikes with multiple speeds exist. Ultimately its your choice but a one speed bike will become more of a hassle and a hindrance than enjoyable.
I think one-speeds are better because it's a real challenge and better exercise (and even up-hill isn't THAT bad). Multi-speed bikes are for wimps. :P Of course, if you want something easier to pedal, of course a multi-speed bike is the best choice.
k guyz I'll think about it.
and lol @ me with ponytail?
