Ive been thinking to buy a bike for some time now, But always get a cold feet! of not knowing what to buy!

Any how, recently Canadian Tire, has a %50 off on Schwinn bikes for $299, reg price is $499. Aluminium frame with shimano pieces on it. Now, i may occasionally go off-road or may be a bit mountain as well. One thing that confuses me is that, there's no shock on the body, only on the front wheel. As you have noticed, i don't know much about bikes, so is this going to give me a bad rid? ALSO, what is your input on the whole thing? Price, Schwinn, condition,...THANKS.
