Yeah I've seen that one before and it is a classic. Wilson's a pretty typical case of parents complaining on behalf of their kids. What he doesn't take into account when he goes on about about the manufacturer's claims of what a bike is built for and the shot's of pro's riding them, is that he is trying to justify these claims against inexperienced kids with rubber limbs, rubber joints, no fear and also no real experience or technique.
It's true what (can't remember now) says, "all u can do is up grade the parts u break to make the chances of breakage less". No matter who you are or what you do this is reality.
Did you keep or upgrade to lights those reflectors that came standard with the bike for your night riding ?
