This is the kind of bike you could probably get away with from WalMart. Fenders are good for around town too.

I just don't go to Walmarts anymore. I'm done.

#2 - Well you can go shop at hippy/commie/union mart and pay $120 for the same exact bike. Walmart is cheap and it helps poor people by selling them cheap shit they can actually afford, and it gives people jobs. You can order from Williams-Sonoma whenever you want. For a lot of people a walmart job is a career and with unionized jobs you can almost never go full time so you never get benefits unless youa re the manager, but you still put in a million hours anyways - so the union doesn't solve anything except stealing from the workers.

I got some good generic meds there for $4. So suck it.

Huffy used to be a good brand when I was a kid. Are they still any good? I can only imagine a $80 walmart special isn't so grand, but if you donut have much dough its prolly OK.

"So suck it" is exactly what I expect to hear from walmart shoppers.

Walmart does not create jobs, it puts other companies out of business, companies that can't undercut walmart's prices because they treat their employees better. How does it help poor people to sell them cheap crap that breaks? The poorer you are the less you need to be enticed by junk that ends up in the trash (or in redneck states, on the front lawn).

#3 is just plain moron, please take some business/economics class before talking about WalMart in the future.

#2 did you get some bad "generic" meds from WallyMart? Yes I'm aware of the never promote scam WallyMart plays with the employees.

I wrap my meds in boiled bacon.

this is a great alternative for those too poor to afford the price of gas

Walmart is a quality establishment and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking moron.
#12   people - Posted 1:51 am PDT 06/10/08 (285 Posts)
cheaper than a full tank of gas

#3 Williams Sonoma doesn't sell bikes.

#10 it might also be good for those who aren't dumb enough to pay for gas when they could ride instead.

#3, Huffy was NEVER a good brand. Bottom of the barrel bikes. They actually started several other companies to sell their crap under as people got wise to their junk bikes. It's scary that you actually considered Huffy to be a good brand! But I'm sure dave_c and cleverendeavor7 will come in and set you straight with another bicycling nerd war soon enough.

A huffy is fine for city use when your bike is likely to get stolen (or stripped) anyway. Laugh all you want, but I still have a 15 year old huffy mountain bike that still rides ok. Granted, I wouldn't take the thing on anything more than a dirt road, but I have no complaints.

True #15, most bikes are fine for city use, as millions of people who don't pay hundreds for their bikes continually prove. Many of these don't last as long as a quality bike would, but they don't need to for the lower price.

Huffy, yeah they were always lower end, while Schwinn and Mongoose used to be better respectively, than they are today. Bikes have gotten better over time though, long enough ago that Schwinn and Mongoose were ok the better bikes were little if any better thay today's median-grade bikes. By "better" I am excluding the high end, meaning only value priced, maybe sub $500 bikes back then.
