Complaining
I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

I have an apollo bike
It's a 'town and trail' bike not a mountain bike, but it's done me fine for more than a thousand miles since I got it last Christmas...

That's generally fine...
...if you know its limitations. If it's pub transport, or for commuting then it makes more sense to have a cheap bike which won't cause much grief if it gets nicked.
Having said that, I rode an Apollo a couple of years back along a canal towpath and the thing did it's best to kill me thanks to an undapened fork, geometry designed around a neanderthal and a gearshift more vague than a Labour Party election pledge. Spending an extra £100 on a bike with a more comfortable riding position, a rigid fork and better gears brings a whole world of improvements.
