I read some awful reviews of this bike, called the Hollandia (imported from China by Cycle Force of Iowa). These look like they may be made in the same factory that makes the (declining) Flying Pidgeon, but that's just a wild guess. The funny thing about the article that contained the scathing review; the author thinks that this move by Walmart may actually help bicycling in the US, by shifting away from the sprung mountain bike crap that's been steadily adding to the growing pile of rusty discarded bikes in the US to the next generation of junky bike that (once all the crappy plastic pieces fail and break off) might actually stand up to long term abuse. (So there may be a pecking order in the world of junky bikes??... fascinating...)
I recall fondly on one of my first rides (on my 2TT Bombadil), someone asking me "Hey, isn't that a Flying Pidgeon?"... I chuckled, but then replied with a straight face: "Why yes... yes it is...."
