Ir's a dual suspension 21 speed Huffy Pulsar bike
Alloy brushed rims
Front & rear suspension
Aluminium dual suspension
3 piece crank
Front disc brake
Shimano EZ-fire 21 speed shifters
I am 15 and want to ride it to school and work + other close by facilities, i.e shops etc but mainly the first two which are both over 3 KM away with a lot of hard uphill riding involved.
Should I get it or not?

Even though Huffy is owned by TREK. I would suggest not buying it and purchasing a front suspenion bike. It will be lighter than the huffy and easier to get up the hills not as you wont be carrying extra weight of the inexpensive suspension and inexpensive parts that will wear out quicker than the parts on a entry level front suspension bike. Look for a Specialized, Trek, or any brand that is carried in a Bicycle Retailer, Try not to buy a bike from a big chain store like target or wal mart. The value isnt in the bike, The bikes are in those stores to meet a price point not for value reasons. please look into buying your next bike at a shop, You will be happier in the long run, since the bike will be fit to you you will enjoy riding it more and longer than the chain store bike, wheres its closer to two or three sizes fit all.

Look for a bike without rear suspension instead- it'll make riding uphill way easier. If you're not riding off-road, you don't need rear suspension.
I had a Trek fx that was great for riding around town, especially on uphill riding. It's kind of expensive, though. If you're looking for something cheaper, something like a trek 1400 would work well. My little brother has one for riding to school and he loves it. If you haven't noticed, I like trek bikes, but any hardtail with front suspension and an aluminum frame would work well for you.

Maybe it will help you, but search better for a hardtail (bike with only front suspension). For that price they should be lighter and work better. The suspension at that price will likely just be added weight.

It sounds like a decent ride and is probably good for the use you want to put on it.
