I need to get a new bike. The problem is, I have to keep my bike outside where it is going to get rained on and weathered by the sun...and possibly stolen. So I want a bike that will be cheap, sturdy, and last in the weather. It shouldn't be too flashy so people won't be interested in stealing it. It also needs to be able to be kicked around, because bikes tend to get beat up a little bit in the outside bike rack. (My current bike got the gear kicked in and now the chain scrapes whenever I pedal.) I'd like a mountain bike or a hybrid. Any brands to recommend?
