I should have asked on ODT before I bought a mountain bike.

Check out Performance Bike. The best one to go to is at: 1471 Northeast Expy, Atlanta, GA 30329

This is where all of the other stores dump their older, sample, or demo bikes. You need a street cruiser- not a balls out mountain bike with front/rear suspension.

Look to spend @ $250-$350 for a decent, for your purpose, bike. Yes, there are bikes that are $3K-$8K, but they do not fit your need.

Giant bikes are known to be a good bang for your buck bike, especially for casual riders or if you’re not sure if you’ll stick with it. Basic ones run $400-600 new but can be had used for under $250. If you can snag a used Specialized for around the same, thats a deal. Just know, the lighter the bike, the lighter it’ll leave your wallet.

change out that seat unless you like stuff up you butt. Id get the fattest, softest wallmart seat from Bell
about $30 and great for cruising the beach.
your butt will love u for it!

He did say the middle shock is junk and to replace it with a so-and-so part but unless you do anything serious with it you're fine.

I second the recommendations for a bigger seat.
