buy a real bike that the shop assembles for you instead of that crap from Kmart that you have to put together yourself.

It's interesting you should say that.

I had my electric bike sent up to me from Victoria with it half assembled and for the rest for me to do.

It was a disgrace. Loose nuts. Things screwed in the wrong way. The back disc brake assembly put at the front, and vice versa.

It was probably a piece of crap drop-shipped from China. Ya gets what ya pays for.

you didnt say that about IKEA Huh

Ikea's good for knick knacks. Anything substantial, crap.

IKEA is a shithouse for substandard furniture, workmanship, design - you name it. It's a four-letter word.

I haven't considered a bike since I was 8, I got one and discovered it was far more enjoyable to walk. They were good for doing tricks on, I could ride on the back wheel of my stingray for at least a quarter mile(Came in handy when I got a motorbike). Never liked using it for transport though, rather walk.
