Ok, this morning I had to drop off a return at the UPS store, which is across the street from the bike shop. So, I decided to browse, although the clothing and accessories are ridiculously priced. There was a dad and his son in there, both in full cycling gear. The kid looked to be around 6 years old. He had his own very expensive looking road bike. Nothing wrong with that, but this kid was obnoxious! First, the dad was having them check his Zipp wheel. He went out to test ride it and when he came back in, he rode into the shop, slid, and fell on his azz, right at my feet, as I was paying for some socks. He was really embarrassed. Then, the dad started arguing with the mechanic (a woman) about what was wrong with the wheel and the spokes. She was being very calm and trying to explain to the guy that the spokes should not be as loose as they were. Then the kid pipes up and shouts, "Those wheels are crap!" This was after I heard the kid tell another customer that they had just moved here from Ohio and that there were too many safety rules here!
Later, I was in another part of town and saw them riding by, in some heavy traffic. Obviously, the kid can ride, but what a brat!
