Anyone poor and riding Walmart bikes?

Thanks all for the comments. Wow! Awesome stories!! Yeah, I homeschool during the day and when hubby gets home in the afternoon, I hit the road with my son. He is a good kid!

I just really wish it wasn't so cold. I miss riding. I'm just waiting for some nicer days (won't be long now and spring will be here in TN) I noticed that the longer I rode, the easier breathing became (Plus, I think some of it was the bike itself, hauling a big, heavy mountain bike) Hopefully the new bike will help that. It seems so much lighter. Luckily, my husband is very into bikes and has worked on them, built them and fixed them up all his life. He hasn't been big into expensive bikes, just always worked with what he had. So he can go over my bike and make sure it's good and fix it up good for me (new seat, grease the joints good, etc.)

Welcome to TE! We're glad you're here.

Doesn't matter WHAT you ride, just that you do! My students gave me a gift card to Target for one Christmas (it was a $80 gift card). I bought a Magna mountain bike and a helmet and rode that thing for a summer. Then I forgot about it, and started riding it about 3 years later. I helped me fall in love with riding, and that's what's important.

Two wheels are two wheels- doesn't matter where those wheels come from!
