Whether you are a newbie or an experienced cyclist, many people buy their first bike from Walmart. These bikes are affordable and offer decent quality for the price. However, they are not the best choice for everyone. This article explores bicycle at walmart, including its benefits and drawbacks.
Bikes aren’t professionally assembled
In order to save money, Walmart hires an employee to assemble the bikes instead of a professional bike mechanic. This means that there is a chance that they don’t always grease the chains properly or that the rims aren’t trued. This can cause the bike to perform poorly or even break down.
They have low resale value
Bikes don’t hold their value very well, so if you ever decide to sell your Walmart bike, it won’t be worth much. You may also have to pay for maintenance on your Walmart bike, which can add up quickly. This is because Walmart bikes aren’t designed to withstand a lot of wear and tear, like when you load it up with groceries.
You can’t get them serviced at the store- Walmart and other big box stores don’t have their own bike repair shops, so you will have to take it to a local bike shop or do it yourself. This can be expensive, especially if you need to replace the brake pads or shift cables.
You’ll have trouble finding the right size- In order to find a comfortable riding position, your bike needs to fit your body. Most Walmart bikes only come in one size per model, which can be a problem for taller cyclists.
