Yeah, and you KNOW if he gets a flat, it's 99.98% sure that it'll be the rear wheel. It always is. Funny, but in all my years riding as a kid and teen- and then the last 4 years or so since I've gotten back into it as an adult, I don't think I've ever had a front flat. It's ALWAYS the rear! (My bikes must have been/must be gay, 'cause they're always taking it in the rear!)
