Default what's a good bycicle

well since my parents took my sixer to mejico (yea, i spelt it with a j instead
of you'r precious x, take that you damn gringos)
and my fox is in dry dock, ive taken to riding my bicycle.
the same one i had since i was 12[8D]
now im in the mood for a better one.
ill mostly be riding around town so i dont need a bmx bike or anything,
i just want a good crusing bike (obviously that can take a pot hole or two though).
im willing to go into the $170 range.

any suggestions?

hahaha we used to call those bikes "hoopties". im not even sure how that word is spelled. anyway, i would look for something with gears cause it sucks riding a direct drive bike and topping out. check out the "Next" bikes. i guess its the wal mart brand but they aren't half bad for the price.

if you want to stick to that price range i would recomend a $170ish mongoose from walmart i saw recently, its a fullsuspension mountainbike that will last u a good amount of time, even has front disc brake if im not mistaken.
i have beaten the living hell outa my mongoose for the last 5 or 6 years on the street, mountain bike trails, i even rode that bitch from miami to naples on a 10.5 hr trip last year. best bang-for-the-buck bike out there, mine cost me like $250 back then.

im getting into serious mountain biking lately so i want to upgrade to something lighter but i really love my bike
