A neighbor once brought me her Huffy for a tuneup. I was able to do it without the expected annoyances. The bike was cheaply made, but the fit and geometry were perfectly good. I took it for a little test ride, and it was pleasant. I suspect the tires helped. Not that the tires were high end, more like a lucky thing the sidewalls weren't made of concrete. If I had been riding blindfolded (and not crashed) I might have thought it was a more expensive bike.
