I know these were popular around here in the eighties and seemed to be basic, low-cost transportation.
Now all I see is mountain bikes. They're everywhere and we don't even have mountains around here.
I've been daydreaming lately that if my job lays me off I would like to take one month to ride as far west as I can, lose some weight and reminice about the time I took a motorcycle out west.
I figured at 10mph I could manage 50 miles a day and be there in a month then take a bus back home.
Where do you find 10 speeds that are priced fairly ($100-200). A mountain bike makes little sense on asphalt.
Walmart is stuffed with cheap mountain bikes, but I've never seen a road bike in there. What happened to them?
