Bike Reviews

I only ride on old railroad trails for long distance, exercise and enjoyment. My mountain bike has some nice features of being light weight and durable….I have not been able to find reviews for comfort bikes so I could find a bike that would be nice to ride.

I am looking for an entry level mountain bike that will be suitable for casual riding on pavement and some light trails. Not looking to spend more than $400.
I don’t know a whole lot about the manufacturers, so I thought it would be a good idea to narrow my search to within 2 or 3 brand names.
