Mountain bike recommendation?
Hi everyone!
I am planning to purchase a mountain bike but I started hesitating after a whole bunch of researching since they seem very complicated while I have NO idea about bikes. So I want to get some recommendations, thank you for all your opinion and help in advance!
My situation:
I have been biking on the trail near my house for a month, using the rental bike daily since I have 90 mins free cause I'm a university student.
I ride about 15-20 km daily and my goal is to keep it and challenge 30-50km during weekends. I'd like to buy a bike on my own because the rental bike seat always slides down and they are too heavy.
My budget is max 400 dollars, I hope this bike can be practical and durable for at least 5 years. Or I'd like to pay max 150 dollars to get a second-hand one that can last me for 2 years.
I enjoy this exercise a lot, and I truly hope this can be a long-term hobby. This is the first time I found myself can focus on the outdoor view, the wind and myself, please let me know if my budget is too low or I'm too ignorant for some questions, I really appreciate all your recommendations, thanks again!
