So a parent getting a kid a decent bike and asking questions so that either he knows it'll suit his kid or so he knows how to properly maintain it is a bad thing? Would you prefer he just go to Wal-Mart and buy whatever is on the clearance rack?
I mean, the 16" COOP is a whopping $189. If I ever have kids, do I really think $189 is an extravagent amount to spend on a bike for them? Nope. Would I want to ask questions to get something they'll like and use? Yep.
