true, i've had cheap bikes for exercise only for years and walmart bikes are ok, as soon as you wear off the 2nd rear tire the chain and sprockets need replacing so you put it out with the weekly garbage and they take it away.

on my 3rd $89 mountain bike now---also they work ok indoors in the winter on the bike trainer. easy way to keep the belly flat, i do 30 minutes every day (8 miles)

best mooch deal i found on a road bike recently is here:
