The Story
Honestly this scares me. I just hope that manufacturers know to run scared and refuse to sell to Wal-mart (which is legal, Snapper mowers actually did it).
I'll say it now: I don't care how much money it saves me I wouldn't buy a quality bicycle at wal-mart I simply care to much about the industry to hate upon it like that.
Maybe over time Wal-mart will improve upon its anti-manufacturer/anti-quality ways and I'll feel better about purchasing a bicycle there. Realistically though I'll probably always prefer the one on one you get at a small shop. It's certainly no panacea, but it's much nicer than searching for an employee for a half hour only to realize they're all up front running the check outs.
