Answer 1

I wouldn't describe myself as a hard core biker-I just ride it around my neighborhood (streets/sidewalks) and local trails (mainly paved, but some dirt and gravel).  If that sounds similar to your plans for biking, I would recommend somewhere like d**k's.  I got my bike there 7 yrs ago (it's a Diamond Back mt. bike-it was less than 200.00 and I think probably around 200.00 for a similar model now) and I haven't had any problems with it.  

Answer 2

You are not going to get a bike for $200 that is any good unless it's used.  Check this site to find your size.
