I've gotten it into my head that I need a bike for exercise and weight loss. I used to be a runner, but my knees are shot.
Anyhow, I keep reading about how bad department store bikes are, but I cannot get myself to spend hundreds of dollars. I keep thinking I should buy something at Wally World and take my chances- after all, I may decide that I hate to ride. (Although I loved it, once upon a time) I also can't seem to find anything used, that is decent. (I don't want a project bike.)
I think a lot of the issues people have with dept store bikes, are that they are built by 16 year olds with no experience and the people that buy them do not know how to adjust/tune/fix their bikes. I have decent enough knowledge in those areas, so that part doesn't bother me.
Anyone care to share their experiences and opinions?
