bike

we got a his first bike with training wheels.
he hopped on xmas morning and found it tough to pedal.
p took a look and sure enough, the bottom bracket bearing cup was not adjusted.
glad i'm knowledgeable in regards to bike repair.
so i broke out the adjustable wrench and a spanner.
a couple minutes later, easy pedaling.
crappy rei mechanics. didn't check the bottom bracket.

i wonder how many parents purchase bikes, get home, find out it's tough to pedal,
drive back to the store where they purchased the bike, get a ticket written up for bike repairs/adjustment,
wait for an adjustment hoping they can do it then and there and not have to wait
a day or two.
