I lived in Winston-Salem not too long ago and enjoyed the variety of off-road single track mountain bike trails. I used to tote a small point and shoot and try and grab a photo here and there. Now that I am back in Florida I'm trying to get back in shape so that I can enjoy some of the trails established by the local off-road club (S.W.A.M.P.). I ride an entry level Trek 4300 hard tail (~$389) with basic Shimano Alivio derailers and RST front suspension. It's served me well for a few years now - definitely gotten my money's worth. If I get back into it I'll be ready to upgrade to a lighter frame and something with better components.
FYI, unless I'm on a paved trail or in the woods away from cars/traffic there's no way I'd ever use a bike to commute. Florida has one of the highest (if not the highest) death rates for pedestrians and cyclists. People down here are absolute idiots on the road. I don't trust them when I'm in a car let alone on a bike.
