Bike Forums poster GPSBlake rode from South Carolina to Texas in a month on his Wal-mart Schwinn Sidewinder. The journal, written on the road, is choppy but interesting. Here's what he wrote about the Sidewinder after 2K miles in 28 days:
"The Walmart Schwinn bike performed perfectly. Other than flats, this bike had no mechincal problems except wear and tear. I would have gotten two new tires had I continued from Abilene. I would have also gotten puncture resistant tubes. When I do another trip, it will be on another Schwinn sidewinder. To those who think this bike is a piece of junk, it isn't. It may not be the best bike for fitness and speed, but the bike performed great."
