I'm thinking about buying a mountain bike and don't want to spend a fortune. Expected use would be mostly riding on paved pathways and some dirt trails. Nothing too intense. Just looking to get some exercise and explore the neighborhood.
I've seen some Diamondbacks, Iron Horses and Motivs for $200 to $300 at the local box stores. Are these durable enough for casual riding or do I need to shell out a few more bucks for a higher end bike?
Suggestions and advice are greatly appreciated.
