The tires are much too narrow for dirt/woods trails where my 10 yr old son likes to ride, so I’m looking for a more appropriate ride. Considering a used mountain or hybrid bike for less than $150. Any suggestions on where to start? Features? Brands?

Why draw the line @ $150? If you were to pay 150 for a used bike it would probably make sense to get it tuned up by a bike shop (to make sure it is safe) which would probably cost around $45. So you’d end up paying $200 for a used bike when you could probably buy a brand new one (trek, specialized, giant) for about $230. Especially this time of year, the bike shops are dead! That’s not to say you couldn’t find a deal @ 150 if you were to look for a while. Maybe try cragslist.
