Spring just got to my neck of the woods in the midwest, so winter months pack extra weight! I used to love riding bikes as a kid, so I thought, why not buy a bike -- I haven't ridden/owned a bicycle in many many years. I researched bike shops and found them to be really high priced. My bikes were always Schwinn's and what a great surprise to me when I found that Wal-mart sells Schwinn's!!! I went to the store and actually rode this bike around the store and fell in love with it. The price was in the $380 range at the bike stores!! Wal-mart was way cheaper! I bought myself this bike and my daughter bought the same bike the next day!!! We love riding together and it gives us some time to relax and get a "slimming" workout! Thanks Wal-mart and Schwinn!!!
