I completely agree.

See, I asked the guy if he could figure out why my chain kept dropping. I said that the bike had been worked on because it was skipping gears... and everytime I laid down the bike it would drop the chain. He said not to lay it on the derailer. Ok, no problem.

I then went on explaining how the bike was NOT dropping the chain BEFORE they worked on it... and the chain stayed on for an entire year without dropping. To give him some clue to as to the fact that something the other shop did, caused the chain dropping to start.

Then he went on to tell me how the bikes worked and how they can be complicated. He said it in a way that was like, "Well little missy, these bikes can be mighty complicated... too complicated for you... " In a tone like that.

My boyfriend was listening to the whole conversation and we walked off even he commented how the guy was talking to me like I had just bought the bike and had never ridden it before. We started to laugh because it was so silly how this guy was talking to me.
