You may want to go for a used mountain bike for now and most good Bike shops carry a very good
selection of quality brands and sizes to suit your needs . Most I have seen are less than
$100.00 and they sometimes come with a warranty at some bike shops . If you decide you like the
sport over time , you can save the balance of the money you don't spend and add to it , say over
a year or two , and get yourself a really great bike . BTW , a lot of bike shops allow you to
lay away a bike and pay it off over time and some even offer bank financing ( I don't reccommend
the later ) .
