Yes I would agree. An entry-level bike is a great idea for occasional riding especially if you're not a seasoned rider. And even if one is a seasoned rider, an entry-level bike could be a great asset if one kept in mind to use it like it was intended - occasional riding. It's no use trying to go to a hammerfest on an entry-level bike (unless you want to specifically humiliate some posers by beating them ), and no use looking for quality where it wasn't intended to be.

And if you never go beyond the occasional ride well that's money well spent and not some shiny bit of expensive bling gathering dust for 50 weeks every year.
