I'm with Dennis M M. In 2008 I was looking for bikes. Of course, WalMart came up. Then someone suggested I go to a specific bike shop in Beaumont, Texas. I did. Told the guy what I was looking for (pretty much what you are now looking for) and he showed me several choices. I was impressed. Asked him if he had one I could ride. He replied yes...just pick one. We went riding and in two blocks I knew I was getting ready to spend more money on a bike than I had ever spent. The bikes are Raleigh Venture 4.0 with comfort seats. gears and in the $475.00 range. Still have the bikes and love them! Never could see myself spending so much money on bikes. Everytime we ride, we're glad we did!
If you are truly going to use a bike, go to REAL Bike Shop, get fitted, test ride, understand the $$ difference -means a truly quality bike that will ride much better & lasts, & you will enjoy much more.
Walmart -not put together by mechanics, low, low end parts, no employees to explain difference & properly fit you (adjust setup, followup on proper usage & care). Fine for some, but if really used, good chance Walmart bike will fall apart and/or not work proper.
