There's nothing quite like a good bike ride in the summer. Whether you cycle for the environment, fun or fitness, biking is an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to many forms of transportation. However, if you're not a year-round cyclist, it can be hard to justify spending several hundred (or thousand) dollars on a seasonal purchase.
Luckily, thanks to Canadian Tire's wide selection of men's, women's and children's bikes, you don't have to break the bank to get cycling.
Starting at just $200 (yes, seriously!), the retailer has more than 230 bikes available online, including mountain, hybrid and electric models — and to make things even sweeter, you can currently rack up 25X bonus CT Money on bikes.
