Sounds like somebody is a little jealous. Who cares if some kids parents buys them a $5k bike, or brand new car, or $300 cell phone. I never had that stuff when I was growing up either. I don’t have a cell phone to this day, and I definately had to work for my own car. However, the 13year old on a $5k bike passing me on my $1300 bike isn’t hurting me. Unless he kicks me on the way by. At which time I might have to beat his a#$. So, cut the kids some slack, and cut their parents some slack. God for bid a parent want their kid to have some cool stuff while they are growing up. Trust me, when my daughters are ready to ride, I am going to get them the best bike I can afford. If it happens to be a $5k bike, than so be it.
