Man, watching all these bikers out in the sun makes me want to get one. Anyone have any recommendations on what to get. It seems like there are quite a few riders here that know a lot about biking. A little too technical for me, but I guess this is the right place to ask.

I am looking for an all around bike? I was reading a bit online and seems like a hybrid bike is the way to go, but then i asked a friend and he told me they are for old people? He then said to just get a mountain bike instead and I was like WTF?

Anyways, I am 5'9. 180 pounds (if that even matters). Any suggestions? Or things I should look for when picking up a bike? I am considering a used one since it will be my first bike. Suggestions?
