I feel like my 2nd job has been as a bike repair specialist.
My sons each have bikes and I swear that all those things do is break. Theyre just riding them around town and there is always something wrong!
Makes me mad because they were not cheap either. If I am paying $900 for a bike, it seem fair that the act of riding it would not cause failure. Shift cables have frayed and broken, neverending issues with brakes (a pebble got stuck in the caliper) and one of them, the wheel is warped from sitting in the bike shed for the winter! It literally just sat there!!!
I feel like modern bikes are expensive and fragile beyond reason. My old cars dont have as many problems as these things!
