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

for what you want you can def. get a nice comfort bike... a little bit more practical then that beach cruiser... but not as extreme as a road bike or MTB.
jamis makes a bangin comfort bike.... google the jamis explorer.

yea... that's what I'd do... I worked at a bike shop... so of course I must say SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOPS!!!
they offer hook-ups, and the quality is MUCH better than walmart....

bike shops are AWESOME if you know what you need and have a big wallet
but under $200 you are stuck at walmart or sports authority. deff get a mongoose if this is where you shop
stay away from roadmasters, they are WEAK, the components are crapily made
NEXT bikes and a step up from roadmasters but still bleh
huffy, havnt seen one in a long time, for adults at least
