If you're a bike newbie and wonder what you're missing, and why I've devoted so much of my life since High School to working in a bike shop, read this explanation on the differnece between cheap bikes and bike shop bikes. This is basically my day every day: Trying to tell people they will have a much better experience with a well-selected, quality bike, than a BSO from the department store. My Grandpa still doesn't understand, and tells me about the features of the $99 bike he saw at Wal-Mart. I tell him that those things shouldn't be ridden off the sidewalk, or bad things happen. Here's more on the bikebuying experience from Dirt Rag, a popular bike magazine for regular folks.
