But they are not built in America anymore like . people think. They havent been for at least 20 years. There are a lot of differences besides price when it comes to buying a bike. One of the things gap has started to shrink. The manufacturers who make the discount store bikes are beginning . to build better machines, but along with that comes higher prices.

"There has been a large gap between the quality of department store bikes and the kinds of bikes shop sell for a long time, says Decker. In recent years that Decker sells all the major brands of skate boards as well as custom models.
