Yeah not looking for anything fancy. Just something easy to ride for up to like 5 miles I guess. I've only ever owned mountain bikes. 
So if I'm looking at spending like max $500 total for 2, I should be able to find something pretty good second hand, right?

most important part is just fit
Two things I can’t live without:
1) détachable basket
2) fenders on both tires
Just about any bike shop can install those when you buy the bike, or if you buy used from not a store, you can take it in and have it done for pretty cheap.

Or drop kids off at school like I do? He acts like this is some viable alternative for most people that don't live near downtown.

If the problem keeps occurring between you and different people, you eventually have to take a look in the mirror and quit blaming the different people.

We went over this. We agreed that you’ll never ignore me.
I sure would hate it if you never replied to my posts again, Rouge.

According to the OP, you should be able to ride 2+ miles in full dress attire over asphalt in the middle of south LA summer and not sweat or else you’re a lard arse

Yeah during the morning commute. Sure.
Do you not actually love in BR? From May until October this is a very real possibility for mornings. If it’s not north of 90 it’s low to mid 80’s with complete cloud cover and 75%+ humidity. That’s almost worse

to be fair, LA is a good place to bike commute
the weather is perfect 9 months out of the year for it
Posted on 3/3/20 at 8:30 am to Salmon
What’s perfect bike weather?

And when I typed LA, I meant Louisiana, not Los Angeles

It is amazing how Americans will fight tooth and nail to protect their habits.
