Do not buy a mountain bike from Wal-mart, unless you just want to ride around the block no longer than 1-2 miles.
If you are indeed taking your bike to the trails, it really pays to get a real mountain bike from a bike shop. They will last much longer and you’ll get to experience real mtn. biking.
First, you need to set a budget. For a bike that you can grow your skills with, it would cost from $300-600 for a hardtail (new). Decent full suspension bikes would typically start at around $1K, so its best to stick with a hardtail. A real PRO guy who has 4 mtn. bikes said he rides his hardtail the most, since it covers most of the terrains.
From what I heard, as long as the brand is carried by a bike shop, hardtail frame nowadays are all very good and similiarly strong. The main difference would be in the components, especially the fork, wheels, and lastly the brakes and shifters. The brands you listed are really good brands, you can also look into smaller brands such as GT, Mongoose (as long as its from a real bike shop), Iron Horse, K2, Fuji, and some Schwinn.
Good and dependable
Cheap
Time taken to find/acquire it.
You can pick two out of three, but not all three.
Go to Walmart. They have 70 dollar bikes that are good as new 7 year old 300 dollar Huffy’s. (like when they came out that year)
Specialized Rockhopper worked great for me biking in the foothills of the Rockies just west of Denver. A front shock….I was all set. Check ‘em out.
Check the answers on your other question.
walmart

I don’t really know a lot about bikes my friend. Sorry.
Watching me some comedians with my braaaw. Cause we all need a little laughter in our lives.

$10 to $15 dollars labor, plus price of tube (about $6) most shops make their livings with repeat customers, and will not try and rip you off. if the mechanic says the tire needs to be replaced because of a large gash, worn out tread, or cracking due to dryness, ask him to show you. new tires for that kind of bike usually start at around $12. he or she may be trying to make more money, but they also have the safety of your kid in mind as well. believe me, people in bike shops are not getting rich!

Dependable: Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic,

Not Expensive: Yaris, Fit, Civic
Safe: All above cars have standard airbags, and standard ABS, but you must be aware that no matter how safe they may be, it is not guaranteed in a collision with say a Hummer or a big Benz, you just can't deny the laws of physics. Good luck on your new car!
Joining a road racing-oriented club will involve frequent training rides on roads in your area. You will ride on a very light bike with very skinny wheels and distinctive "drop bar" handlebars, or "aero bars" to promote an aerodynamic riding position. You'll train short and long distances, develop your abilities to climb, sprint, time trial and race as part of a group. Competitions involve time trials (races in which you ride by yourself against the clock) and road races (races in which you ride for an overall place)
Joining a mountain biking club will involve trips to local off-road paths, downhill mountain slopes, and other generally untamed roadways. You'll ride strong bikes with great suspension and fat, knobby tires. Competitions can involve different races on pre-determined trails, or you might never compete, and simply ride off-road for the love of it.

Jimminy, you’re confusing San Francisco with Silicon Valley.
I like rechargeable batteries for the distance mentioned. I use Light and Motion. Their batteries are fairly lightweight. Many of the rechargeable ones are bulky. Since I bought mine, Light and Motion has finally shipped the Vega. It looks like a pretty easy unit to use and is your price range. Built-in charger and supose to be very bright.
When I bought mine, I knew I wanted a bright light. The more expensive lights are generally bright. You get what you pay for. Many of the cheaper lights use regular batteries. This can be good but expensive.
One of the key things for me is being seen. A good light will help you do this. Many cyclists are just hard to see at night. Reflectors and shiny flashing red lights only go so far. You need something that will catch a drivers attention.
If you want a full blown discussion on lighting, look up brevets and find one of the mailing lists. These guys have endless discussions on lighting. These are very long distance rides and many involve riding through the night.
There are a number of steps you can take, which will not only increase your chances of conception, but will be your best guarantee of having a normal, healthy baby. Ideally, you and your partner should plan for pregnancy at least three months before you conceive. Before you become pregnant you can begin to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which will help you have a healthier baby and healthier pregnancy. This includes exercising and eating right. It is in the first few weeks, when you may not even know you are pregnant, that the baby’s development can be most easily affected. So, keeping fit and eating well will ensure you have done as much as you can to nourish and protect the baby in the womb
