I understand that buying a bike at a big box store comes with many caveats about quality, selection expertise, etc. But this is a bike I will likely ride maybe once a month at most, and I want to spend under $150 for an already-assembled model. That said -- does anyone have any thoughts in terms of brands and models between the:
BCA Charleston Cruiser,
Schwinn Midway Cruiser,
Hyper Spinfit Men's Hybrid,
Mongoose Ledge,
Schwinn Pathway, or
Schwinn Sidewinder?
Any other of the brands I should consider? Genesis, Next, Roadmaster, Huffy?
Thanks so much for your thoughts. The broad selection, while theoretically nice, is just a bit dizzying for a person who already doesn't know a lot.
