Enough with the walmart bikes, there are more crap road bikes out there
I know Target have 2 heavy road bikes around $200. I looked at their site, but they don't show em. But if you go to their bike section they're there.
I tried to ride it around the aisle once, it really heavy to lift around. I don't even remember it's name. Besides, I'm not even sure they're real road bikes, maybe just the ergo handlebars.
Kinda stupid they sell em but aren't on their site while walmart has em on the site, but not in the stores.
Anyway, check em out sometime. Bring a camera. I forget what they look like.

There is a Dick's by us in Chicagoland and they have several of the new Schwinn road bikes starting at around $499. I gave them a little consideration...very little. Schwinns don't seem to be made the same way any longer...

hmm just checked on theiir sites tire and tube selection there sucks pretty bad. Looks like only 27 inch stuff and no presta valve at all. Decent looking gloves though

Id say tools gloves helmets clothign in general prob not a bad place to stop just to have a look. And come to think of it i need a job so maybe ill just have to drop in for a application tomorow.
