> I used to BMX like crazy when I was younger, I still even got my Holmes in the garage. but now I been looking into mountain biking. I wanna get myself and my girlfriend a bike to go riding. I dunno where to begin looking for bikes. I want something that can feel like a BMX but be able to handle mud, dirt, uphill, and downhill without a problem… I seen those mountain / bmx looking bikes, what the hell are those?

it’s the rider, not the bike. the more expensive bikes will be a little bit lighter and have better brakes and shifters, but if you are just getting back into it, go buy a cheapo mongoose from toys r us and see if you like it.

I could do everything on my $99 dunhams bike than I can do on my $500 trek bike. The trek is lighter and easier to shift though.
