Backwards forks

[Rhythm Thief]

This was donated to Enviroability earlier this week. It's obviously been built with the forks fitted backwards and must handle like a cow on skates. How many kids are put off riding by being given something set up like this, I wonder? It's a shame because these are pretty good kids' bikes when set up properly.

Riding on a cycle path I came on a family walking but with a young boy who'd just fallen off: bike on ground. I stopped 'to help' and looked at the bike. Its fork was back-to-front so the handling would have been a nightmare but father couldn't reasonably know (looked newish).
I told him and suggested that the bike not be ridden till sorted.
I hope the young lad wasn't put off.

All fixed now! Actually needed very little work other than rotating the forks. It'll make someone happy!
