Gents,
My wife and I want to get bikes (as in pedals, not motors). Thankfully, here on B&B, we have a point of reference I think can communicate very succinctly what I'm after: What's the C&E BBB equivalent (if any) for bicycles?
I guess I'd characterize our plans as family rides of modest to moderate length. Mostly easy trail and road riding; nothing particularly challenging, lengthy or hilly, as we'd have our two younger children with us on their bikes.
Oh, we live in a smallish town with only Walmarts, Targets and Costcos as reasonable sources for any reasonable distance. Would basic Schwinns in the $150 range be OK? (See what I mean about my sources? That's what I've seen so far.)
Remember, my goal is BBB: If we like it, we can upgrade; but, we also don't want such utterly crappy quality that the quality turns us off to the experience. That said, shelling out even $400-500 each seems (given my barely educated status) a bit beyond the BBB equivalent I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
