Daily Life

I Don’t Know Much About Bikes
I would really like to get set-up with a bike to use during the summer to get around, but I realized that I don’t know much about bikes. I’ve purchased mountain bikes before at Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire, only to be displeased with them after a short period of time…
