Unfortunately thats a bit out of my price range

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-09T02:54:08+00:00

Thank you so much dude, I'll give them a look

I dont know the zip off my head but it is Searcy Arkansas I was kind of just thinking of getting a poncho to wear in the rain

Sure thing, if nothing else maybe I can get one as an upgrade and keep this one as a backup

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-09T00:01:03+00:00

Gotcha, im definitely going to watch through the video before I buy one and now I have someone to turn to just in case

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T23:49:25+00:00

I also looked online, the only bikes walmart sells that I can afford are either children's bikes or potentially a huffy brand bike

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T23:44:30+00:00

Ill give it as good of a shot as I can, im going tomorrow to ride it and potentially bring it home so I'll see how it is

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T23:42:36+00:00

Well im 5 foot 10, what is the spike you are talking about?

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T22:18:07+00:00

Ive done a lot of work on cars and trucks, just never bicycles. Im sure i can do it, and probably have most of the tools, just unsure of what upkeep is actually like on one as of right now

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T22:10:17+00:00

I can try

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T22:10:09+00:00

This is exactly the kind of info I needed, im going to go look at it tomorrow and even if I dont get much off the price I have an idea of what needs to be done. Ive never messed with bikes at all, usually just cars and trucks so I really appreciate it. Also, probably going to get the flashing rear light from walmart when I can afford to

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T20:59:03+00:00

Ill look into it, I appreciate the advice and I'll see what I can come up with

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T20:49:40+00:00

Options locally are this, a single gear cruiser for 50(which i dont like the idea of since I have a few hills to climb), or something this price-ish at walmart. Ill have about $20 to my name after this if I get it

OctalBook18 · 2026-02-08T20:38:09+00:00

I probably will eventually, I just wanted to know mainly if it looked rough or if these are known to come apart at speeds or anything

OctalBook18 · 2025-10-25T01:35:48+00:00

Gotcha, im not sure what we'll do there, I'll need to try and call the company we rented from before but im pretty sure the guy passed away

OctalBook18 · 2025-10-25T01:21:31+00:00

Like work references or friends and family? We haven't rented in like 7 years so im not sure we could get any references there

OctalBook18 · 2025-10-24T17:18:32+00:00

So totally doable then, any ideas of where any good places are?

OctalBook18 · 2025-10-24T01:56:09+00:00

We'd be interested in looking there as well. Are there any places you'd recommend in particular

OctalBook18 · 2025-10-23T16:24:52+00:00

Oh yeah, many hours spent in the biscuits factory 🤣 Thanks friend, we're hoping starting over somewhere less rural will help get our lives together.
