You guys have reached a whole new level of snobbery
No, Just answering the question "what is wrong with Wal Mart Bikes?"
The answers if you read them all state the expense of
proper maintenance, putting the bike together properly
etc. make in not worth it. Thats not snobbery its
good advice to someone who asked.
I agree that riding any bike is better than not, but
how many potential riders are out there, disgusted
with cheap, heavy, poorly assembled bikes rusting in
garages, basements and storage sheds ?

I'd check some of the local shops for used bikes.
There are a ton of shops in the LA area aren't there?
you could do much better than one of the mass retailers.
Explain to the shop that you're limited in funds and
don't let them talk you into something more expensive
than you can REALLY afford.
