Raleigh bikes have real nice kickstands.

Hmmm, don't see any kickstands there.


The person who made that comment is obviously someone who bought their bike
from Toys-R-Us or Walmart. Anyone serious about bikes knows the better
ones, like Raleighs, don't come with kick stands or water bottles on them,
you always have to buy them separately.

"Serious"? Anyone who enjoys the ride, rather than trying to be "serious"
about it, doesn't want a kickstand to begin with. They are the _worst_ kind of
Barney-droppings imaginable.

Yeah - but do they have big wide springy seats?


Actually, neither. Nor do they come with water bottle holders. All
of these accessories you have to purchase yourself, including a lock and
chain.


Life is good.
