Some of have kids bicycles that unexpectedly had major breakdowns and spent a lot of very expensive time in bicycle hospitals and at bicycle doctors. Some of us aren't sure just how we made it through - or, in some cases, how we are going to make it through in the future. Our bicycle road was not covered with glass, it was coverd with land mines, and some are yet to explode.

I've got a whole listserv of about 150 mom and pop bicycles with broken kids bicycles that have those exact minefield problems today, and they find that the bicycle government is laying more minefields, instead of clearing them out.
