Nicely done and well said JDog about the store box bikes with a 90 day warranty lasting 91 days.

I'm guessing that first picture is from Mtn Creek?

Nearly two-thirds of the 1,004 Americans who responded to its April survey found that bike riding helps to relieve stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic, and one-third of bike owners turn to riding for mental health. Forty-one percent feel exercise is their most important motivation for getting on their bike these days; and 85 percent perceive cycling as a safer mode of transportation than public transportation while social distancing. Trek’s findings also reveal that cycling’s popularity will likely abound, with 50 percent of respondents planning to ride their bike more post-pandemic.

"It’s been really nice to see that people are looking to bikes and nature and trails and cycling as a way to cope mentally and physically with arguably one of the scariest things that has happened to humankind and that’s refreshing", Sananikone said.

Side rant after reading this section of the article and seeing the opening photo: One of local towns plowed a riding area a couple of weeks ago that saw 100's of users (many local kids) that "had nothing else to do" and were learning how to really control their bikes in small controlled area on properly built features. I saw first hand how it helped cope with the Covid going on. We complain about users not using their helmets but these beginners do not have the option for any instruction and a progressive place to learn how to ride.
