exercise bikes with google maps image
Batman
I want to save money on gas by not driving to work and I also want to exercise at the same time when i'm not working.
What would be a good bicycle that's under $200?
Maybe a bike from walmart?
As i've never been to a bicycle shop and I don't know if there are any near Brighton Colorado
Answer
Let me be blunt...brutally honest... What part of Wally World spells quality when they sell "bicycle shaped objects" in the friggin' TOY Dept.?!
$200 times three - possibly even four if you want a good road bike. Good bicycles of ANY type start in the $450 to $500 price range from one place only - a REAL bicycle shop.
You're quote, "I don't know if there are any near Brighton Colorado." Simple as using GOOGLE. I'm counting TEN in the Denver area. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=bicycle+shop+brighton+colorado&ll=39.805371,-104.93454&spn=0.789134,1.234589&fb=1&gl=us&hq=bicycle+shop&hnear=Brighton,+Adams,+Colorado&t=m&fll=39.837014,-104.931793&fspn=0.820406,1.234589&z=10 And I live no where near Denver.
Best "bang for the buck"? Go find a Raleigh or Giant dealer. Get a hybrid - some now call these "fitness bikes". For pure speed over longer distances (10 miles or more) get a road bike.

Where is a good place to go fishing around where I live?
widowmaker
I live in Rock Island Illinois on the Mississippi River and right know it is flooded. Please help answer only if you know the area.
Answer
Hey, Widowmaker, don't take this as a wisecrack, but you need to get out from behind that computer, leave the house, and do a little exploring of your home area, if you're capable that is. I mean, it would be hard to do if you're handicapped, or something similar. Computers, cellphones, and stuff like that weren't around when I was a kid, but we had bicycles, and we'd ride them for hours on end, travelling all of the backroads all over Lake County, Indiana. Pull up a google satellite map of your locale, spend some time researching the different roads that lead to parks with ponds, but for private property, you'll have to go ask the owner's permission to fish his/her waters, and if they let you use their property, make sure you don't trash it up, or go there when they are not around, so get on a bike, have some fun, get some exercise. It will be challenging, but if you are sincere, and determined, you'll find a way to make it all work out for you.
Goodluck & Good fishing
