You might check to see what's available in the second-hand market where you are.
Or if you did just want something really cheap for short rides, you could go department store, but you'd want to check it over first to ensure that it is safe and you wouldn't expect it to be particularly good.
Probably a hybrid or hardtail mtn bike.
