I appreciate the reviews of budget-friendly bikes! As someone who loves to encourage people to "get into biking" but also shudders when I see how _discouraging_ the price of new bikes are, having some affordable alternatives queued up in the back of my mind for when someone might ask what I recommend is always welcome.
The quality of North Shore riders and the bikes they ride is sometimes a bit detached from the folks out there who maybe aren't "bike people" but still appreciate ripping around on green/blue/purple(?) trails and are in need of an attainable, low-maintenance steed. There's room for people to like riding mountain bikes without being a Mountain Biker (capital M, capital B... if that makes sense?)
