In my late teens I had a really great $200 Huffy bike that I rode 20 miles per day one summer riding to work. It was so heavy it probably would have survived a crash better than a Yugo. I probably weighed 135 pounds soaking wet at the time. Knew a kind of chubby guy who bought a magnesium/aluminum alloy Italian racing bike for upwards of $800. The thing was feather light, but I know I could of smoked him like a joint in a real race. Really good!
