Obviously there are a few bikes between the 50 pound cruiser and the $2000/Waterford level that rental places could choose from.
I wasn't expecting much for $6, and I didn't expect to go fast. I guess my main question was why someone other than a rental place near the beach would buy one of these. You know, I see people who are new to bicycling buying or at least considering this type of bike, and I just don't understand it. It seems like some segment of the bike industry is actually trying to discourage people from getting into bicycling. (I'm looking at you Kent/Pacific.)
But what I'm hearing is that for slow rolling on flat crowded MUPs this is actually a good choice. Yes?
