    Brakes

    yes as flecc said, but the trouble is when explaining any thing its all to easy and wrong to assume to much knowledge on the part of the person asking, we all knew we have three brakes on a bike in this order,anticipation, front,and rear correct use of the first can avoid using the second two.i...

    more power- lower age

    well i don't think ime on the fence, i don't see the ability to reach 15mph without putting any effort into it as being likely to encourage children, especially young boys to travel at any other speed most of the time, where as having to work hard as you say on a cheap heavy mountain bike to...
