I agree, but why can't we do a little bike bashing? We're mocking the bike itself. I would also say most people on this forum have a "nicer" bike than the $50 one. Plus there needs to be cheap bikes, cause i don't think most people here for their first bike bought anything expensive at all, i know i didn't (when you were younger). Why spend money on something you're not sure you're going to like. It's all in good fun.

Oh, by the way, my bike is STILL a toy and always will be.
