Bike experts?

Anybody know a lot about bicycles? I'm looking into getting one, and I'm mainly looking at a Huffy Blackwater 26" Men's bike available for about $70. I don't need anything fancy, just something reliable, with good brakes, and good working gear shift. Huffy's supposed to be a pretty good brand, right? The Amazon page for the bike is here.

If anybody can tell me anything about how good that bike is, or wants to rec any good cheap bike, I'd be very grateful. Thanks a bunch!

yeah, that huffy sounds good. they last a long time, but so does anything if you take care of it. if you have questions about individual components, IM me sometime or check out bicycle magazine. you might want to just buy the bike and replace the saddle with a gel or other mod saddle, but i don't know how often you're riding it or on what kind of terrain.
