Hi I'm a returning biker at 52 and a father of 3. When I bought
my kids bikes for Christmas I started shopping for one for
myself.
I finally bought this bike today:

(will be a couple of weeks before I can bring it home, have it
on lay-away at my LBS)
I was originally planning on getting a hybrid, but saw this one on
the LBS's web site marked down from $300 to $200 (2007 model)
and went down to check it out. Once I rode it I was in love. It's
probably classified as an entry level MTB but I think it will be good
for the kind of riding I want to do, getting a little cross training in
and riding with my kids around the neighborhood and in our local
parks.
It's been a long time since I've owned a bike (and never a good
bike) so this will be very new to me. Already I'm looking around my
area trying to figure out what the best places to ride will be :)
