I don't remember him mentioning what they rode before, but everybody I know started out with coaster brakes like J_Taylor, so I'm guessing that's all they ever had. Any way, he stopped over yesterday and we went for a spin. He of course looked a little wobbly, but managed to pull out his cell and answer a call without crashing before we even rode a quarter mile.
He said he liked the bikes, but had no way to take them home at that time.
Today he asked me what I thought of some $89 "full suspension" 24 speed pseudo mountain bike he found at Walmarty online.
I did my best to explain why getting it would not be a good idea, so we'll see how it goes.
