Been meaning to buy a bike not sure what to get. All I’m trying to do is some casual neighborhood riding so I was looking for opinions.
On FB marketplace I found a novus free agent for $200. Is this a good price?😅😅

That’s not really a bike meant for casual cruises around the neighborhood. It’s a BMX-style bike meant for short sprints and tricks and what you would quickly find is that you can’t really pedal while you sit on the saddle. And you would quickly tire of standing on the pedals every time you needed to pedal.
Look for a hybrid: cheap, easy to use, durable, and usually easy to find used. If you want to see some examples for reference, look for Giant Escape, Trek FX, Specialized Sirrus, and Fuji Absolute models. There are plenty of others that are good because it’s a super popular category.
