[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 450307, member: 11881"] On a limited budget, and prices can get high, I would suggest finding the size you need. Then shop local and used. Try to find a brand name you find in the BIKE SHOPS. There are many a brand in Wal-Mart that at one time were great brands, but not anymore. I would suggest a mountain bike for the urban jungle going up and down curbs and such. I also suggest getting Slime tubes or (works better) tubes with Stans No-tubes put in. Finally, if you find yourself a bike, have it professionally tuned up. A properly operating bike is a joy to ride. Most people never ride a perfectly dialed in bike where everything works without flaw or hesitation to know the value of a tuned bike. [/QUOTE]
