I wish they would start selling "cheap" bikes like the Raleigh Sprite again. There are still tons of those things around, as they were heavy but well built machines. My girlfriend rides one from the 70s, and it is a great bike for getting around. The bikes at department stores often include too many non-functional and problematic "features", such as pogo stick, steel coil "suspension" systems. That kind of bike is just junk, and won't last all that long.
