My walmart bike's downtube failed as I was riding it up a small incline. Not even at a weld, just right in the middle.
Didn't even know that was a part that could fail.
Had to replace the tires because the treads wore through once so it probably got more use than walmart bikes are built for.
I've heard them called "bicycle-shaped objects"
Eh, I can't fault it too much considering tires usually last over a thousand miles and most people buying a walmart bike aren't riding thousands of miles.
I don't agree with the general sentiment though, riding a well-maintained aluminum frame bike after thousands of miles on a slow ass walmart bike is such a different experience.
