What's the best used bike I can easily find for under $300? I'm basically riding 1.5mi from my form to Walmart on a nice bike trail a few days a week.

Are the trails 3rd world/dirt, or are they decently paved?
Do you plan on doing winter riding too, or just summer+spring+fall?
I already see some decent bikes, and 300 will get you a good bike that works.

You only feel weight when you're climbing
My alloy Marin shitbike is 25lbs which is heavy but not ridiculously so.

No, most hybrids that are quality are sub 30lbs.
BSO's are 35+lbs and that is heavy as shit.
Beyond that the marin has strong 36 spoke(low maintenaince) wheels, long cage+3x drivetrain(easy gearing), and thinner tires for easy speed compared to a mtb or bso.

probably lighter than anything you've ever ridden. suspension is heavy. Walmart bikes are half-again to double what that pic weighs. Marin started as a boutique brand. that one might be later but it's still quality .

you need to tell us how tall you are so we can rec bikes that will fit you.
