I was going to wait and incorporate this into a post I’m writing but people won’t stop sending it to me so I might as well put it up now. Yes. You read the title right. Walmart is selling a Fixed-Speed bike made by Mongoose. Fixed-Speed? Whatever the hell that means. In the words of Shang Tsung “It has begun“.
Here’s what Walmart has to say about it:
