They are Mormons! I see those guys in my neighborhood all the time and always knew they were in some kind of cult.

and before you accuse me of picking on the religion, I've known and enjoyed the company of Mormons over the years - young kids out here as 'missionaries' have been universally embarressing

You better hope George Bush and Toby Keith don't hear you "making fun" of Christians, no matter what flavor.

Possibly the tube was underinflated (or flat from a popped tube) causing the the tire bead to roll off the rim during a turn. If the tube fell out it would get wrapped around the axle and brakes while rolling. I think.

I've seen a few bikes like that come into the shop after they've been walked from wherever the flat happened
I chalk it up to general idiocy and not being able to walk in straight line with a bike

honestly if you cant change or patch a tube, and youre over the age of 8, you need to reevaluate your life.
i just dont get the people that bring their bikes into a shop to change a flat

Blimey, he's even taken the trouble to lock it. Surely he doesn't want it to be there when he gets back.
