I don't know the names of the basic bike brands in the USA but I am sure you'll be able to pick up something basic for $300. Presumably Walmart(?) or Toys-R-Us will have something suitable and you may well have a bit of change.

Aim for a mountain bike - at that price it will never survive any off road use but it will have a wide range of gears that will make it easier to get into the swing of. Start with a really low gear and as you find it easier you can build up from there.

Saddle wise you may need to visit a specialist bike store to get what you are after - in the UK you could find something suitable (and get the shop to fit it) for under £25.

Best of luck - and don't forget the helmet.
