I decided that a wide range of articles and reviews as well covering bicycling events, activities, trails etc. should be covered. But also, I wanted to continue with my articles on quality bikes and this time I’m focusing on the store that sells certain bikes. What I mean by that is that there are too many bike shops to focus on the bike shops themselves. Although I love bike shops like I love record stores and music stores, I could not ignore large chain stores that also sell low-budget yet good bikes. In the future, I will be doing articles on Good Better, and Best bikes that are sold at Scheels, and REI, as well as bikes that big box stores like Target, Walmart, and Costco. They will all be based on a Good, Better, best concept.  The point of this is to give those who want to bicycle and buy a new bike but are on a tight budget or they have a gift card or such to only spend at these specific stores.

Today, this article is focused on the bikes that Dick’s Sporting Goods stores sell. So, here we go.
