Do any Freepers have advice regarding a good mountain bike? I'm thinking of getting one, but haven't actually been on a bicycle in years.

Tell me:

1. Price range

2. What type suspension? (Front, rear, both)

3. Where / how far do you want to ride? (Off of cliffs, dirt paths, on the road?)

Let me know & I'll try & rustle up some suggestions for you.

Cheers!

I'd like to spend somewhere between $150 to $250. I actually don't know anything about suspensions on bikes. The time riding will probably be split about 50% on hilly roads and 50% on dirt paths. I'm in good condition from running and lifting weights, but I haven't ridden a bike probably since I was in high school (12 years ago).
