I used to be an avid bicycle rider, but kind of fell off the wagon over the last few years.  I'd like to get back into it, and ride my bike to work every day.  I used to have this awesome Mongoose mountain bike, that I got back in the day (when shocks were brand new) and at the time it was really expensive.  Now that every bike practically comes with shocks and any number of extra features, prices sure have come down.   I definetly need a mountain bike, the potholes all over the place here in Honolulu would wreck a racer faster than you can say crash and burn.

In need of a new bicycle, I've been looking around online.  I haven't gone to my local bike shop yet or any other bike retailer yet (I hate being pressured into buying, before I know what I want).  My old Mongoose was a men's bike (that I bought a woman's saddle for) but since its demise I've been thinking that maybe I should actually buy a woman's bike... I'm just not sure what kind of bike to buy.  I would love suggestions from anyone who bikes.  My budget is rather limited right now, so I'm looking at less expensive bikes, but I still want good quality.  Have you gotten a bike recently, or do you ride a bicycle?  What's your favorite bike, and why?  Suggestions appreciated!

Hey there JSRose.  I wish I could help you out.  I do own a bike but its just an everyday street bike.  You should definitely look online.  Nice bikes can run up to over 1k but I think if you do your homework you could find one for a good price and one that will work for you!

I actually just bought a bike a couple of months ago. I was looking at Craigslist and I saw that a bike rental shop was selling all of their last year's models. I ended up finding a great beak for an even better price.
