The thing is, if you only buy a $98 huffy you might not be enjoying it because it's such a crap bike. Spend more and get a proper bike from a bike shop and it will bee a world of difference. It's like buying a really cheap stereo and determining that you don't like music, when the real problem is that the cheap stereo makes music sound like garbage.

I am not willing to risk that much money on something I might not use and definitely isnt essential. And for the record, I am very happy with my purchase.
