Help me choose.

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I’m looking for a bike that’s not too expensive. I’d mostly be using it on trails and paths, nothing too extreme—just light riding.

Would the one in the photo be a good option? Or do you have any other suggestions? My budget is no more than $600.

Thanks for your help.
