Personally, I couldn't give a **** less about what kind of bike WalMart sells, or who buys it, or what people think when they see me riding down the road and wonder if I got my bike at Wally World.
But they stopped being the only kid on the block with one forever ago... I mean hell you can get a Scrambler frame for 150 0n ebay or a full built bike from BD for 100 more than WM so its way more accessible than it ever was... If anything I'm looking forward to a day when the parts prices come back to a normal level heh... the whole scene blowing up will take out the kitsch/trendy of it all and thus we will no longer see inflated prices based on "cool"...
