not looking for a huffy or schwinn, a REAL mountain bike, but one that is considered to be both affordable and still good quality. I’ll also utilize it on the street, often.

I am wanting to start biking. I would like to go into wooded trails, and mountains upnorth. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money, I just want a bike that would fit what im doing, and to last a while. I want disc brakes, and at least 18 gears, and dual suspension, if possible. What bike company should I go with that has the best bike for your buck?

I’m 15yrs old and I’m looking into buying an affordable but reliable bmx or mountain bike that won’t break on me every time I pop a jump off a sidewalk curb or dirt hill, but I have no idea what stores or online sites offer a good deal so I need some ideas.

This price seems a little TOO good. Ca you tell me something about this bike: 2010 Gravity Dutch. Bike is offered new unassembled, for 9.00. Here is the info from the seller:

MODEL: DUTCH is a Hybrid / Flat Bar Road bike and the best all around designed bike I have ever seen. HYBRID bikes have become the biggest selling class of bikes; due to their versatility. With a light hybrid, like the DUTCH, you can do it all! Charity rides like the MS150, fitness riding, commuting, light trails, or just a fun casual ride.
