When I see damage like that bent stems, I marvel at what 13 year old boys get themselves into. Imagine the collision the boy had. He hit something hard and stayed on the bike. These boys are adventurous, stupid, and incredibly resilient. Pain doesn't bother them much, if at all. It's entertaining to me, and I wish it were a memory for me, but I wasn't like that as a boy.
