So I been wanting a cheap bike to bike around to the store and maybe bike 5 miles to work, but I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for some overpriced bike if a walmart bike suits me fine. I heard walmart bikes are shit, but are they that shit that I should spend 500+ bucks if I just want to commute to places?
>>2860635Try Craigslist.Lots of good bikes if you can do some basic maintenance
>>2860635Check online and you can occasionally get a deal used. If you're commuting 5 miles definitely don't get a cheap bike with any sort of suspension. Get a road or hybrid style bike with solid front fork and frame Cheap suspensions are fucking terrible. A cheap solid bike can still be ok. Make sure to look up how to set your cable tensions for brakes and derraileur. It won't be good out of the box
