My point was not that it must be saved at all costs, my point is that people, today, are dropping $300 on a brand new big box store bike that according to industry surveys they won't ride for more than 25 miles. This $40 bike can run circles around brand new big box store entry level bikes at a fraction of the cost. And probably weights the same.
