Deb, I think older son was trying to explain that to me, but i was still very impressed. he also told me that his bike had a lower gear than my other son (the one who went over 28mph) BECAUSE he is not strong enough! (when he gets stronger, he says he will get a bigger gear? or a harder gear?)

and neither of them have a freewheel, which boggles MY mind.
ps both of these guys have roadbikes and mtbikes too
