The statement about "cardboard and plastic" is so appropriate too! Just like everything else in this world, you have to have teachers and that is where parents fail....not everyone is mechanically efficient and that most certainly includes NJ lawmakers who are parents! Any mechanical device is prone to failure without proper and periodic maintenance. I purchased both of my primary (high dollar) bikes from a reputable dealer and that does NOT excuse me from doing pre-ride checks, even with my experience- I too have had a loose front wheel on the trail that I FORGOT TO CHECK BEFORE I WENT OUT, THAT MAKES IT MY FAULT!!! Do we really need common sense police stationed everywhere bikes are sold? i would gladly get on board to ban Wal Mart or any other “Mart” bike for that matter! where do i sign up?
