No specs, no descriptions. Just photos of some fun looking commuter, cruiser and urban bikes. Above, my favorite of the bunch thanks to the clean (yet geared) drivetrain and integrated front basket.
Glad to see the integrated cup holder carries into 2013 models.
Coffee, anyone?
It pains me to say this, but Walmart has actually stepped up their bike game quite a bit in the last 2-3 years. They were already responsible for putting more people on bikes than any other retailer in the world. Now though, instead of some cheap full susser with a bunch of plastic bits that will fall apart or just fall off in no time, people can get something that looks halfway decent and that should actually work for more than a few days. Supposedly they’ve improved bike assembly training for employees, too. More happy people on more serviceable bikes should = more business for the LBS’s when those people decide to upgrade later instead of giving up on bikes altogether because their p.o.s. fell apart.
Maybe. We’ll see…
I was just joking about Walmart. The Schwinn bikes they are showing on this website are for IBDs and Performance. We used to be a Schwinn dealer but it got to the point you never sold any of the nice bikes. Also with Schwinn not making a complete “bike shop” line anymore it made us drop them. If Dorel (Schwinn owners) would drop the “Wal-mart” line and make a more models (not going to happen). I believe bike shops would pick them up again. My guess is Schwinn will be like Mongoose (Dorel owned also) and the IBD bikes will go away and Schwinn’s will just be in the discount houses. Cannondale and GT (both Dorel Owned) will be the good bikes.
