Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

Up date on my Walmart Huffy, purchased about 2 weeks ago...the rear hub toasted yesterday. Now I have the joy of returning it to WM. It gets ridden about 5 miles a day on relatively smooth plant roads. If it was my only transportation I would be screwed. And BTW I see quite a few of these on the roads around here. Yes they are disposable bikes. WM does sell a couple of okay models for the money, but don't expect Joe Q Public to be able to differentiate. I am lobbying my company for a Worksman, but at over $300 I don't know if they will go for it or not. I may buy it with my own money.
