I just hope they were $650 fancy bikes instead of $59 WalMart specials.

You rote: “I just hope they were $650 fancy bikes instead of $59 WalMart specials.”

A $650 bike is a cheap piece of trash that no self respecting bicyclist would be caught dead on. My cheapest (of 6) bikes is about $1000.00 but they probably average about $4500

No real commuter would EVER use one of these bike share bikes. The are poorly maintained, they don’t fit right, they are not setup right, they are heavy, they are improperly geared. Cyclist look at these things as jokes.

If it isn’t Campagnolo equipped it isn’t worth riding

Pikers. Heck, the share a bike program in Austin cost about $1,000 per bike. I'm glad we don't live in that liberal hellhole anymore.

They were the $59 WM specials, but the city gov’t paid $650 for them
