X2...as a backup bike...what's wrong with taking one of these? nothing. I'd rather have a "walmart(whoever)" cheapy bike stolen, then my good one? Makes sense don't it? dont knock the cheapy bikes, they're great if they get folks out there riding, which is the entire point, isn't it?
I would agree if you're trying to make $$$ off the bike, probably not a good idea to buy a "Walmart bike"...but, again, as a cheapy backup.....I'd take one all day, if it saves my Caad9 from getting lifted? And YOU would too.
