Are Walmart bikes worth buying?

My wife and I want to ride bikes during the summer and need to buy everything, 2 adult bikes, a child seat, three helmets, and a bike holder for our car. We noticed prices at walmart are really cheap compared to other stores in the area. I understand they are of lesser quality, but do you recommend Walmart bikes and extras for a family of beginners?

Answer
Getting a bunch of quality bikes for the family all at once can be rather costly. Being you know these are not top of the line, my suggestion is to go there and buy what you need to get into biking. Then as you can afford it or find out how much riding you and your family will be doing upgrade. The problem with kids and some activities is that when you start you do it a lot then it tapers off and then after a season the bikes, boat, etc just collect dust from lack of use.

I saw on the street a kids bike attached to an adult's bike with a sort of a tag along pipe kind of a thing. Does anybody know where to buy it or what it is called

Answer
There are two different types. One is called a Tag A Long that is made to attach to the seat post of an adult bike and the other is a boom type device that lifts the front wheel of the childs bike off the ground. The tag a long is a much better design.
