Gee - I fell off a bike when I was in 8th grade and broke my arm - was going downhill and the brakes failed - it was an old bike. This was back in the 60s before we knew that it was someone's else fault for not keeping the bike in good working order. If I knew then what I know now, I would have been in a nice condo on the beach somewhere instead of wasting my whole morning with you all
I agree. I've bought several low price bikes and I always check them first thing. That's not enough though. Just like any vehicle, they must be checked periodically. No way I trust the kids I see working at Wal-Mart to assemble a bike.
