A bike under the butt is worth two in the...

Uh, never mind.

If it's a choice between something at the $350 price point and something at the $160 price point, you will simply do better at the $350 price point. The components won't break as soon, the bike will last longer, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

If it's a choice between a $160 bike and no bike, GET THE BIKE! The worst thing that happens is you RIDE A BIKE!
