At our church, like many, we have a "giving tree." You pick a decoration, which is a card that lists a gift for an underpriviledged boy/girl, man/woman, age.
For the second straight year, I looked for and chose "bike" (this time for a girl, 5).
Question: Where would you buy said bike? You can get a kids' bike at Wal-Mart for dirt cheap. Or you can pay a C-note or more at the LBS. The disparity between other items (such as a helmet, which I always purchase with the bikes) is similar.
Us? A Giant "Pudd'n" model at the LBS. Most of the other bikes thus far are Wally's.
