Well China is there whether we like it or not and we have to think about how we are going to deal with them constructively.

If alan doesn't want to buy a bike from them thats his business, but if he is going to avoid all Chinese products he is going to have an expensive life. I'm sure there is some middle ground out there between the $79 Chinese bike and the $500 American Cannondale.

Just in case you're interested alan, I read that the Chinese have a secret plan to use high tech weapons to destroy all the computers in America.http://theepochtimes.com/news/5-7-26/30574.html

Seems like a good reason to boycott Chinese bikes, but I'm not sure its going to do much good in the long run.
