And places like Target, and Canadian Tire, and Sears, and Walmart, and other department stores have been selling relatively decent, inexpensive bicycles for a LONG time too ... bicycles that work well as commuters, winter bikes, etc.


Now go to a Dollar store and see all the exciting things you can find there! For example, I've picked up camping gear, lighting, and backpacks that collapse down to nothing for my tours ... all for $1. And that's where I get most of my winter gear ... neck gaiters, headbands, gloves, etc. ... all for $1.
