Another reason to dislike pushbikes.
« on: April 18, 2017, 19:30:15 »
My son bought another mountain bike. He won't ride it. There's one in the shed and he hasn't touched it for years and there's another in the way in his mothers  shed.  There was some irate discussion about how I don't have room for it in the garage and he went on about me having three bikes. He pushed it into the garage to show there was space for it. It then toppled over and just before it hit the deck the handlebar went through the rear lens of the "Honorary StromBerg scooter". Oh! poo!!!  ### ### ### ### ###
I phone the bike shop today to order a replacement lens. £67.50 as it comes as a sealed unit. :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead:

Sell one of the pushbikes to cover the cost.
