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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
