hi my girlfriend and i want to go bike riding on the weekends. what are some good bikes to get that are under $250?
it'd be nice if they had those mountain bike tires too, and not the thin ones. i'm still researching right now but dont know where
to start.

thanks in advance,
riggz

Best advice I can give is BUY I AT A BIKE SHOP, not a dept. store!!

Personaly I like Haro's, and the entry level one (vector V-0) goes for around the price your looking to spend.

for 250 I Would go to walmart & Get a mongoose..... There an almost half decent quality & a low price... I Dont think you will find anything new of equal or better quality for that price.. well unless it's stolen.......

If you are buying two bikes under 250$ walmart or Target are best bets

are you mostly road biking? you might want hybrid tires then.
