Sadly, my young nephew, who was an honor student and varsity croquette player at his high school went to a party where some "friends" talked him into trying a Bikes Direct Record bicycle. He was humiliated by bullies on all-carbon Pinarellos, lost his mind, and ended up killing himself by riding onto a railroad trestle.
