I picked up a beater Huffy (is that redundant?) from a Bonita Beach thrift shop for riding in FL during the few weeks we stayed there each winter. The headset bearings races were really bad and riding it required a lot of concentration to keep it headed in the right direction. It was like riding on grooved pavement all the time. I carried some loose balls down the second year and that made a big difference in the handling. It was much more relaxing to ride and the effect lasted at least the 8 weeks we were there. We won't be going back to that place this year so the Huffy is our landlord's problem now. She was tickled to get it to include in her list of amenities.
