A teenage kid riding a bicycle with no tires on it, steel rims right to road, and is completely casual about it. I have to wonder, what the hell is wrong with kids today? Is he going to grow up and drive a car with no tires, I know they already can't be bothered to wear pants that actually fit (numbers are confusing and all), but really? It has to be noisy, uncomfortable, and dangerous on that thing...
Is this some sort of newfangled trend?
My neighbors kids do that when they are tired of their current bike. Since they moved in they have been through 3 or 4 bikes each (2 kids, I think they are twins). I can't stand how crappy they treat everything they have and the apartment complex wonders why I keep my bikes inside or on the patio....
