I ride a beater because.... I just don't have anything nice.

I have a 2009 Schwinn Cutter ss which isn't practical for 17 miles each way wiht hills. My next newest bike is 15 years old. Except for the Cutter, I haven't paid more than $100 for any of my bikes. For what I use them for, I can't see why it would be worth it.
