I understand that buying a bike at a big box store comes with many caveats about quality, selection expertise, etc. But this is a bike I will likely ride maybe once a month at most, and I want to spend under $150 for an already-assembled model. That said -- does anyone have any thoughts in terms of brands and models between the:

BCA Charleston Cruiser,
Schwinn Midway Cruiser,
Hyper Spinfit Men's Hybrid,
Mongoose Ledge,
Schwinn Pathway, or
Schwinn Sidewinder?

Any other of the brands I should consider? Genesis, Next, Roadmaster, Huffy?

Thanks so much for your thoughts. The broad selection, while theoretically nice, is just a bit dizzying for a person who already doesn't know a lot.
 
Biggest thing for you to do is avoid any bike that has a front shock fork, low price bikes with low price shocks are a huge trouble spot, avoid those at all cost!

So I think that leaves just the Pathway.

However after saying all of that I cannot recommend ANY Walmart bike, for $150 I would look at used bikes.
