a 3hour walk is nothing, whats wrong with kids these days. i really dont get it, a 3hour push for something that u can ride on till ur hearts content, this has nothing to do with ur parents, this is down to you, dont be lazy! Smile
i know he wont walk 3 hours to get a bike, i walked half a day to get to the top of mt 7 and it only lasted a half hour to get down any way what i m trying to say is if u like something that much it wont matter how hard u worked to get it

ya, biking to the top off fromme takes a long time and the bike down is only a fraction of a time, but when u think of the fun on the way down the price of biking up is nothing, just like walking for 3 hours for endless fun on a bike

Just tell them that your bike is a piece of shit and it will break. Then, go and bend your rim.

Actually I didn't grow legs until a store opened up 15 mins from my house. My ribs were fine.

I'd probably just do some work around the house and stuff try and earn it!

if crying does not do it, bring home some dude with 20 facial piercings and a uk subs logo tattooed on his chin and tell them that if you do not contribute to the purchase, you will bang the punk, have 20 babies and get the money from the benefits agencies.

if that does not work I would consider prostitution or just plain robbing.

I had this exact same problem with my parents.. and actually still do

to this day i dont know how i ever ended up with the bike i have.. not exactly what i wanted but me and my parents met in the middle.

basically i just told them i was going to pay for it with my own cash and asked around to see if the bike was actually worth it
