I'd much prefer bicycles be affordable.

I got one for $20 at a garage sale and worked ok until the tires gave out and I haven't gotten around to changing them yet. But I don't need high performance tires or anything since I just bike around the neighborhood, so that will be what, another $50? Bikes are cheap if you don't care if they're brand new.

Finding one that's the right size can sometimes feel like you won the lottery.

Actually, I'll admit it is slightly too big for me, but it only bothered me a little at first and then I got used to it.

They are, but that is a halo product

Certainly has a product placement feel to it.
