I don't have any knowledge about bike mechanics. However, I am willing to work and learn.
1. How old is "much too old to be riding it"?
2. How could it be a waste of time and money? If you went to school somewhere to learn bike mechanics wouldn't you expect there to be a tuition charge? Fix your dad's bike one problem at a time and chalk up the cost to "tuition".
