Newb bicycle buying help
I have no idea about bicycles at all. Im looking for a dirt cheap bicycle and i just want to make sure im not buying garbage. So if anyone could tell me if this is a decent cheap bike that would be much appreciated.
All i plan on doing is riding on the streets with maybe minimal riding on dirt,grass etc.
(Also sorry if this is in the completley wrong spot)

Are you in Canada? Are there any bike shops near you?
I totally get that the cost of bikes can be daunting, and I wish it weren't the case.
If you are buying to ride in the streets, then avoid a mountain bike. Look for a rigid bike with no suspension. That way your money is not being diluted across expensive suspension bits that you don't need.
