I disagree about the junk parts on so called "bso's". I purchased a Kent Torpedo "e"BMX for my granddaughter as an alternate to he regular bikes, and while there were necessary adjustments, the cheap six-speed Gripshift system, V brakes, tires, tubes, stem, hell everything was functionally adequate; now that she's outgrown it, the bike is still fine and ready for a new owner. Also, when my children were young, "bso's" were the only bikes available (except BMX's), and were fine for them.

Everything in a Walmart will be in a landfill within 10 years of purchase.

Micargi Cruiser. I don't know the exact age since it was used when I purchased it, but the company that produced the motor has been out of business for 10+ years. It's currently being ridden by my SIL.
Also, my children had bikes that were in our family for ten years,then given to others.

While I would certainly pass, I must say my wife's Huffy Beachcomber is not really that bad, heavy though.
