I would get a hybrid bike with narrow but knobby tire that way you can go anywhere

I would not recommend a full suspension bike in the case of the OP. They do have some great and fun benefits but they require more work and a lot of energy is lost. When I used to try using mine on the road I used to tighten the shock as much as possible to improve riding in on the road, but I was really just trying to get it to be like an ordinary bike with just front suspension.

Get a road bike, or a hybrid. if you like going off road non majorly get the hybrid. if you are riding for exercise/enjoyment get a road bike.

Don’t waste your time with cheap bikes, go to a reputable bike store and tell them what you want. A cheap schwinn will last less than a year while a properly maintained quality bike can last decades.

we did a high adventure bike trip in oklahoma. One of our guys was on a schwinn 7 speed cruiser that he bought at Target. He had no problem keeping up. There’s also the cool factor. Schwinn, Electra and Sun all make models worth checking out.

Answering the first question: If you like to go off jumps in the street, or rip the trail, a freestyle mountain bike is for you. A freestyle is a full suspension bike that is lite and manuverable, and you can always switch out the knobby tires for more street worthy tires. My ride is a 2009 Giant Yukon FX full suspension mtn bike($850)

If you live in an area that is flat (ex. The Midwest), buy a road bike because there really is no areas that are good for mountain biking and you will be able to travel faster and farther. On the other hand, if you live in a mountain region (ex. The Rockies or Appalachian), buy a mountain bike because it is a mountainous area.
