The wierd bikes multiply

Target's website is listing a 26" chopper-style bike now. It's only
rated for riders up to 230 lbs (sorry, Chalo, you'll just have to
build your own) but it's available off the shelf from a major
retailer.

And some wonder why bikes aren't taken seriously.

OTOH, there is something to be said for the observation that anything
which gets non-negative publicity for bikes is *potentially* a good
thing.

I was at Target the other day buying the typical items like dog
sweaters, toothpaste, and socks and checked out the bikes, hoping to
see a half assed hybrid or better, but they've gone back to stocking
only $89 uber crap mtbs for adults, nothing else. At leat Wally World,
bless their evil souls, offer a decent path bike (well as good as $150
gets ya) with smooth tires and a chainguard.

That chopper is horrendous, but Costco does does a cruiser/chopper that
if you replaced the bars with Nitto Priest, would be fairly cool. It
doesn't have the back breaking riding position and would be a good
coffehouse ride. $150 or so. Being from Costco, you can just bring it
back when it breaks. Didn't see it on the website, but they've got it
at my local.

Dog sweaters are a typical item?

Well, if you don't have a dog, buying them is a little queer, but we
all have our dirty secrets.

As long as you're not putting them on the cat, we'll look the other
way.

You didn't mention the name:

"Adult Deviate Chopper Bike"

Chicken or egg here?

Following the link, I stumbled into Freud, and initially read the
advert's heading as 'Adult Deviant Chopper Bike'. Truth in Advertising!

Hmmm. An online reviewer rates the buy at 5 stars, declaring
"Awesome...I've never been so impressed with something I've bought
online..."

Is there any hope for humanity?

I dunno, it costs $112 to ship, and at 57 lb shipping weight I can
almost see why. I think ownership of this bike would be its own reward.
