Sometimes, I see people asking about buying a bike. Try a new hobby.
Odds are, they will ride it twice and then it will sit in the garage for the next 30 years.
People are telling these guys to buy a $1000 bike. That is insane.
I ride a $200 Giant mtnBike 26" that I bought 20 years ago. So should most new people.
Front shock. I ride to the gym, and the deli, and I have done beginner basic light trail riding on it, when younger.

Most consumer items have not gone up in price in 20 years.
Can you still get a basic $200-$300 bike? What?
