Don't look at those to give you a good ride. Had a locally made steel bike. It was a Korean MTB and when I tried to bike up a hill, the chain kept breaking. Collosal waste of cash. Bought a Korean owned brand, but made in China with foriegn parts. Much better. Have been happy ever since. Love those Shimano parts and Aluminum frame. Now I tackle hills with ease. lol

A 200,000 (retail price) foldable bike is good for around town casually and taking on subways.

For an everyday bike, pay the 500,000 or more and you'll save time and repair money in the long run.

You should buy a bike to exercise away all that weight you gained from eating at Costco.
