"Hi, I'm Mark. I'm here with Expert Village at The Competitive Edge Cyclery in Upland to explain how to buy a quality bike from a bike shop. Here's a good example of a very popular bike now-a-days with gas prices the way they are. A lot of people are starting to commute on bikes and with that they are coming in for a bike that they can ride on the road and get them to their destination in a quick time. This particular bike does that. It runs seven hundred "C" wheels, a very durable tire that is a little bit wider for comfort. So it's going to roll extremely well. This bike still has a very upright position and very comfortable. Somebody who's buying this will save a lot of money on gas and really get fit. Well, hopefully people will experiment and get out on a bike and they'll really enjoy it, and once they do get on a bike usually they're going to. They end up not only buying one bike, but generally two or three. They'll buy a road bike, a mountain bike, and a commuter bike."

on 6/1/2009 Wow -- totally not on topic. This was a blanket non-descriptive narrative for saving gas and riding bikes and otherwise useless.
Where was the comparison -- or simple summary -- of the different types of bikes available? If I was new to bicycles it'd be easy to confuse a "relaxed" hybrid with a road or road sport... very not useful.
