Any tips on what to looks for when buying a bike?

[sorrel]

I'm going shopping for a bike and I've never had one of my own before so I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for when getting a bike. It will probably be a mountain bike because I will be riding it around a park that has paved trails and forest bike trails. Other than that I don't know what makes a bike good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Any mountain bike below $500 is probably going to be made of shoddy parts. I had a $120 Walmart mountain bike that was fine for like, 2 years, until one day it tried to loving kill me by letting the handlebars slip loose as I pulled up to a busy road, making the brakes inaccessible. Are you planning on getting a cheap bike or getting one from a specialist store?

We must stop the bicycles before they stop us

Probably like academy sports, richards sporting goods, not Walmart tho. I'm probably going to be casual riding it like maybe a handful of times in a month and be storing it inside
