I think we both got our current bikes from Wal-Mart, and they have been fine, though I made a bad choice for me with the one I picked out. We don't ride that much, so we don't have to have the best.....I guess.
Thanks for the CL choices. I was thinking about getting a Mongoose, and always heard good things about them, but you can get them at Wally World too, so I wasn't sure if maybe they had lowered their quality or something. Are Mongoose bikes, even new at a department store, good bikes, or should I look for an older one?
