Hi everyone
I have a situation that arose. I have a Schwinn Superior. I fell off the bike 7 weeks ago and was hurt but that's a story for another time. I started to try to ride again several days ago and I inspected the bike and it didn't look like there was any damage to it except I did bend the handlebars in my fall. I rode the bike half a mile the first try due to pain. a mile the second day and last Sunday I rode the bike 12 miles and everything was fine. The bike rode as it always did the only thing that was different was the handlebar on the left side is bent in slightly, which I figure I'll replace eventually but at the moment I don't have time to.
yesterday I rode the bike 10 miles and it did not feel right, it felt like it was pulling to one side when I got home I get off the bike to get the mail from the mailbox at the end of the driveway. when I go to turn the bike I cannot turn the handlebars because it seems like they are frozen if I force it I could turn it either way but they seem to be locked up. what can be the problem and is there a fix for this I hope I didn't destroy my Superior in my fall.
Cheers
Max Bryant
