I did however learn my lesson the hard way about trying to buy sporting equipment from a big box store. The original bike I bought was put together wrong (the handlebars weren't even screwed on and the brakes were just sitting there) and the tire would not hold air....so even though I drug our poor friend around all over town on his Friday night, I decided to return it and go to a bike store and get him this really nice bike. Triple the price of the original, but something that will last the hubbs for years. Honestly I like this one better then the original bike I purchased. It just looks like an adult bike.
Since he got it on the 15th, he has ridden between 10 and 15 mile averages on the days he rides. One day, on his week off, he rode all the way to our local mall. That was about a 30 mile round trip, including hills! I am glad that he really likes his gift and is getting out and being active, but I think I created a monster! He is looking up trails, downloading apps and watching mountain biking YouTube videos! Hehe. I love this man! Enjoy the ride my love!
A dirt bike? I've always wanted it but BAM, no one bought me one! He looks really happy with it. Happy riding ;D

This will keep the hubby happy and in good health for years to come. The next time buy a bike from a cycle shop in the winter and last year's model. You can get a good bike at a decent price at that time. I found you on the Friday link-up.
