you girls have done it now

Oh ouch...I hope that didn't make you lose faith in your new ride!!!
You probably want to take it back to the shop and a) tell them what happened. b) have them make sure it's tight now.

And don't let it dampen your enthusiasm!!!
I'm happy for you that you got your bike!!

It's going back today- kinda scared to get it out on the road and have that happen- if I had not been going slow, on grass, I would have crashed. The handlebars started out fine, I did 3/4 of a mile with no problems, then they were very loose. I tried to tighten them down but my husband had to really crank the allen wrench to get them where they'd stay tight. But it was dark so I didn't ride any more after that, and now I'm a bit paranoid to get out on the road, with traffic, going downhill, and have the handlebars turn but not the wheel!!!
I hope they can take care of it, I'd like to ride this weekend- weather's supposed to be decent.

I'm sure they will get you fixed right up Vickie. Have a fun weekend on your new bike!

Glad you found one you liked! Get it back to the shop, should be a pretty quick fix. If I wasn't going to KC this weekend, I'd say let's meet up and ride! Can't wait to see it. Do I see a Katy trail ride in our future?

I'd love to try katy trail. There is a ride coming up nov 3 at clydesdale county park "hike it or bike it at clydesdale county park", distance "up to" 18 miles. I just saw it on the internet, no other details, I think part of the ride goes on Grant's trail.
hope they can fix it!

I'm sure they can fix it....and they'll be pretty red faced about it as well...
they could be liable for such things...
