hybrid bikes specialized image

I'm in the market for a new bike. I do a lot of paved roads. I initially was going for a road bike, but I like the versatility/comfort of the hybrid bikes when I test drove a men's 2013 Schwinn Sporterra bike.
I'm unsure of what to get in terms of getting more bang for my buck. I'm looking to spend below $500 USD for it.
I am considering the Diamondback, Schwinn Sporterra Sport, and I'm not sure what else there is in terms of good quality hybrid bikes. Any advice?
Answer
Go the the local bike shops you want one that doesn't have shocks they just add weight and soak up energy.

The Schwinn Sporterra Sport is a Signature series, those are the good shop bikes.

Diamonback also makes good bikes.
Try all ones ones you can and get the one that feels the best.

I'm looking for an entry level used mountain or hybrid bike to ride on trails with my son. What should I look4
Tom J
I've been a road rider for several years on a classic 10 speed Bianchi. The tires are much too narrow for dirt/woods trails where my 10 yr old son likes to ride, so I'm looking for a more appropriate ride. Considering a used mountain or hybrid bike for less than $150. Any suggestions on where to start? Features? Brands?

Why draw the line @ $150? If you were to pay 150 for a used bike it would probably make sense to get it tuned up by a bike shop (to make sure it is safe) which would probably cost around $45. So you'd end up paying $200 for a used bike when you could probably buy a brand new one (trek, specialized, giant) for about $230. Especially this time of year, the bike shops are dead! That's not to say you couldn't find a deal @ 150 if you were to look for a while. Maybe try cragslist.
