We had some kid on what was most likely a red-hot bike with a broken pedal and many many many many other problems and he for a week would come in a different times hoping we would just replace the pedal that was broken and ignore everything else after we refused service because the bike was unsafe.
how do you know he wasn't going to fix the other stuff himself, just possibly needing help with the pedal? I have gone to the LBS to have some things done to my bike, and then handle the rest myself...
