Son got a reality check in a LBS in Lincoln. He was testing a 3000 dollar electric bike (I told the guy NOT to do this but when I turned my back they were out the door) and a lady pulled out of a parking spot almost right in front of him. He hit the brakes and skidded to a stop. Totally freaked him out and the sales guy threw a fit about him nearly wrecking the bike. Umm..you told him to ride it. I told you NO just because of that. Won't be going back to that store any time soon.

He got talking to the LBS and the owner said they had rides on Wednesdays and he could go with them. The weather was really windy today so the trip was cancelled but hopefully they'll do something next week.

He's been a lot more responsible with his bike after that.
