There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
I wouldn’t even have guessed Big Lots or Dick’s actually have bikes, since they don’t sell them at any of their locations in my area that I’ve seen. However, my city has a straight up bicycle store and they also carry low-end, cheap bikes.
