if this is gunna be your method of transportation (like me), forget the fancy mountain bikes. They are heavier and go slower, especially if there’s shocks. Go for a road bike with thinner tires and a lighter frame. Unless you wanna spend a ton of money, id look for a used one - my friend is selling me one for under 100 that originally went for 1200. But if you just wanna have fun, go for that bike right there, heheh. ---
