sort of funny how this thread went from one extreme to the other. (A father harshly criticizing his son for not being able to shift even though he is just a little kid, when the emphasis should be encouragement for riding a bike....... To the othe end of the spectrum where there is a wacko statement that if you dont supply your kids with the latest electronic shifting that you dont care about them and are a bad parent)

the fricken internet, man. Palm in forehead
