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?

      Because you forgot that Target, Big Lots, Dick’s, Meijer, Amazon, and literally several hundred chains of sporting or general stores exist?

      Definitely not anywhere close to being limited to Walmart.

      • 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.
