Does anyone on MI know about bikes , Im looking to buy one but I heard the canadian tire and sportchek ones are not so good. Any advice because the last time a bought one was 3 years ago from sportchek and it broke the next day

Bought my current bike through canadian tire, but wouldn't recommend it. Schwinn is a pretty decent brand, I buy mountain bikes though

there's Pierik's Cycle by the Metro in Westdale, and Freewheel cycle in Dundas.

try "mountain equipment co-op". they have some great bikes. there's one store in Burlington i believe.

good place to buy bikes, close and convenient, plus i believe they have some sort of life time maintenance or something on their bikes

Ok so I just got back for canadian tire and i bought this bike http://reviews.canadiantire. ca/904...ws/reviews.htm

But now im trying it out and all i hear is weird scraching noises on the back wheel when I pedal. Im so

pissed yooo

did you not read the reviews of that bike? It may be an alright bike but most were assembled improperly. Which is probably the case with yours

Ya I did. But this is the best reviewed bike on the site in this price look at the rest they are 1 or 2 stars. Its a good bike and I got it 50 percent off.... But now this noise on the back wheel is making me sad

do you have allen keys? I'm sure you can fix it yourself. flip the bike upside down and spin the wheel. Find out what is making the noise. If its the brakes its an easy fix.

what does the rent have to do with this?

regardless... if you dont mind waiting a week or so i beleive tha mac bike co-op will be opening up soon. you can go there and get it fixed by people who know what they're doing.

for now though try what Rstevenson said. It may not be the best fix but itll last. and then go get the bike checked at mac-cycle (if you are in hamilton)

you may also want to buy their membership. if anything happens to your bike you can take it in and they will help you fix it. parts and stuff is also cheaper. and youll learn a lot about maintaining and fixing your bike.
