I have 3 bikes.
One is a Wal-Mart Schwinn, one a Giant Cypress DX, and the last an unbranded antique.
The Cypress is currently unusable due to popped spokes. The Schwinn has the same amount of miles, and less trouble out of it. I enjoy all of my bikes, but the Giant takes so much upkeep. The Schwinn is just a knock around bike. I like that.
