Need advice on a used bike.

[Zhair]

Hello everyone,,
Just starting out on riding the trails. Any advice on what brands to stay away from? There’s numerous trails in my neighborhood that are varying degrees of difficulty. Thankshttps://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ https://acc.onl/hotmail

In many ways bikes are like autos: the difference at a given price point is as much about preference as anything else. If you don't already have a go to LBS, do some shopping for a bike and a shop. Ask the person you are borrowing a bike from.

EDIT: Sorry, your title was advice on a used bike so a LBS probably isn't your main source, but the rest still applies. Look for damage to the working parts (derailers, brakes...).
