Bikes: I never learned to ride a bike. It is my deepest shame.

The reason it bent back so easily was likely that it was seriously weakened either before the original bend or when the bend occurred. Bending it back has weakened it further. Any LBS likely has a $30 replacement that will not likely send you under a dump-truck/

FWIW, just because you aren't racing doesn't mean a failure would be less serious - roads are usually blocked off for racing and a fall to the pavement ends when you hit the pavement. A fall to the pavement in front of a bus end when the third or fourth sets of axles run you over.
