Which is what most people who pedal their vehicles buy because most people can't afford or are not willing to spend any more money than BSO prices.

I got my first ten-speed, a Japanese Free Spirit, for Christmas in 1974. It retailed for about $70 back then. To my parents and grandparents, $70 was a big deal then.

My father was a DOD electrician who worked for the Department of the Navy and my maternal grandfather was a retired union Operating Engineer
heavy-equipment operator then. To my parents and grandparents an American dollar had significant meaning. I'ma ge 55 now. I can remember when a
a 12-oz Coke or a candy bar was 10 cents. A loaf of name-brand bread and a box of national brand cold cereal was well under $1.00 This was in 1971.

Some things as home electronics have gotten much cheaper over the years. my mother bought our first microwave oven in 1982: a Quasar. Retailed close to
$300 back then. That same year we bought our first VCR: a large, heavy top-loading Sylvania VHS that retailed for $1,200 and had a remote control with a long cable, two-head mono sound and very complicated instructions and procedures for setting it up to tape TV shows.

I bought a large Hamilton Beach microwave at Walmart for a paltry $53 new 3 years ago. In 1990, I bought my first new VCR at Montgomery Wards for about $200 called a Symphonic. It was front-load, wireless remote, somewhat compact, two-head mono sound and somewhat easier to program than our old Sylvania. It lasted for about five years. I think the last new VCR I bought was in 2000: a Sony Hi-Fi 4-head model for about $100 then. Wireless remote, front-loading, very compact and light and much simpler to set up. The Panasonic Blu-Ray player I bought new in 2014 was about $100. In 2014 I bought a new Samsung 40" LED Smart TV with resolutions up to 1080i in excess of $700 at Best Buy. Walmart now has Samsung ULTRA HD 40" Smart TV's for as low as $228. I remember when those plasma TV's were new-car-priced and they stunk badly in design due to burn-in troubles.
