The Guardian's bike blog

Peter, echoing some other comments above, I think that you will find that cheap shit bikes will wear out their welcome very quickly. This country's full of cheap bikes that didn't keep their unfortunate owners riding.

Regarding this, when I had customers coming in the shop, they were all surprised when I told them that their BSO isn't how a normal bicycle should feel.

Their reference of cycling come from BSO and are under the illusion that it's exactly how bicycle generally are.
