I don't know anything about bikes, so I wouldn't know the difference. Looks like they have 30 different brands I never knew made bikes... Is Schwinn still around? Or do they suck too?

Schwinn is still around and is still good. They have some low-end and high-end bikes, for all types of people that are bike snobs and non-snobs.



I really want a Dutch street bike. They look so cool and European. Might be the year for a new bike.

Schwin is still around I assume they are still good in areas, but I'm just looking for a road bike for commuting, and all they have reallyl is Tour de France brand.... really... that's a thing.



I haven't bought a bike in forever, the last one I bought was a nice mountain bike I got off my brother and was stolen out of my parking garage somehow....

Time to visit your friendly neighborhood bike dealer then....



If your planning to put significant miles on a bike commuting or riding for exercise I'd spend a bit more for better quality components than you will get at big box retailer. If you just want something to ride around the block once in a blue moon or collect dust in your garage, the big box retailer is just fine.

See, to me, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a bike from a garage sale and one that costs $600... I don't see the point... as long as you can ride it what does it matter? I ask that with sincerity... I don't know anything about it.

The main difference is going to be in the quality of the components (brakes, deraileurs, sprocket/spindles, wheels, axles ect...). One chro-moly frame isn't much different than another, regardless of brand. And even at $600 your probably getting a chro-moly frame. Big box retailer bikes are going to have crap components in general.

GNC is having a sale today... $29.99 for select products.



There are some pretty good products on there, anyone who's looking to stock up on their protein shakes/powder might want to take a look. They have some Whey Proteins, Soy Proteins, BCAA, Creatine, and plenty of other powders. Here is a complete list of what is available:

• Diet Support (29)
  
• Herbs & Natural Remedies (12)
  
• Sports Nutrition (97)
  
• Vitamins (74)
  

Check it out here if you want to take a look... the offer ends tonight. If you're running low on supplements, might be a good time to catch a deal if they have something that you buy regularly. If not, don't sweat it, there will always be another sale, just remember the product line changes every sale.



----------------------------



None of the other sponsors have anything else worthy of posting, unless you are a woman and need thermal clothing or want 10% off... lol.



If there's anything specific you want me to look out for, let me know.

I haven't looked at any promotional offers lately, but I was going to buy something from GNC and thought I'd check and see what our affiliates are offering as far as discounts for IHN members. I also stumbled upon some stuff for Sports Authority. I figured I'd share in case anyone was planning on making a purchase from these companies anyway.</p>
