I have some elementary questions about bicycles:
– Is it okay to just buy one from amazon, assemble it and ride away, or do I need to do some procedure (registration or such). I can do basic assembly unless something complicated needs to be adjusted.
– I've heard shops sometimes refuse to repair online-bought bicycles, is there such a problem?
– Price wise, are shops significantly worse than online like in many other items?
– How do you compare these 3 buying options (online, shop, second hand from somewhere like mercari or jmty?)
– Is there a common, no headache brand that doesn't cost half a salary?
