I don't know Manimal, but seen his posts. Good thing there are guys like him, as there are also fathers/mothers like this:

Two types of bike parents out there: Manimal and, err..., this guy.
- Thread starter sam_little
- Start date
I am not a parent but I'd rather have my kid upset about losing her bike than have her crack her skull. Without knowing how many times he tried to get her to "where" her helmet it's pretty hard to judge.
Kids crap or not, cutting a perfectly good bike in half for effect, when there are plenty who can't afford one (especially right now) is ridiculous. I see your point, but if your kid can't be safe on the bike, put it up in the Craigslist free section.
...and when violence can't be had, and reasoning is impossible, email attacks will suffice.
Awesome.
Do you have his name or address? He has mine.
I wonder what "cool" thing this meth head was going to build.
You can lock the bike up for a month. Cutting it in half is a douchebag play.
Afraid not. Was just scouring local CL for a beater for the girlfriend. Post titled "Bicycle" seemed like a possibility, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut not so much.
DOH!!! The guy just edited his post to include the "fictitious" disclaimer. This post is far less warranted if true.
Obviously you're a moron yourself to worry about a $50 bike rather than the feelings a 4 year old child crying while "dad" cuts your bike into pieces.
Maybe he edited it or y'all can't read...
Dad says "wear your helmet or I'll cut up your bike!"
Kid says "Up yours!"
What next?

What next?
Edited.
Careful, sweetheart. Not sure you read my second sentence as it was intended. I see people on CL basically begging for food and extra firewood to heat their homes. I'm sure some of those same people have kids that have pleaded for a bike to no avail.
Anyway, glad to see the love runs deep...
He's since taken it down.
Let me know if I can help you help them.
Maybe punch the 4 year old in the mouth? Oh, you're from Fremont, that's what they do there right?
I have everything I need to build an extra bike except a frame, fork and cables. You want to team up and create a RM Christmas present????
In case you missed it:
So, my daughter wanted a bike. She would do anything she said. But all she would have to do would be wear her helmet. Everytime.
"Can I go ride my bike?" she asks.
"Sure, just where your helmet," she's told.
15 minutes later, crying. She comes in, bleeding elbows.
"Where's your helmet?" she's asked.
"Er, I forgot," she says.
"OK, well, you are lucky it's only your elbow scraped. No helmet, no bike."
So, I cut her bike in half.
The events depicted above are fictitious. Any similarity to any person living or dead is merely coincidental. However, the bike is real, and yours if you want it. The circumstances involving how it got cut in half involve a child outgrowing her bike, getting a new one, and an over ambitious plan to create something really cool.
What a first class cunt stain.
The donation bike parts I have are from generous Monkeys. I do have a Gary Fisher frame that I would gladly send your way.
PM me your info.
Hopefully all Monkeys will instigate similar efforts in their own communities and soon all kids without bikes in America will have one.
Helmets and locks are severely needed, so if any company is listening, many kids need your help.
incest?

I remember you talking once about had badly your armor stunk. Will this hemet alarm the olfactory?
So creative! But yeah, douche move if it's true. I took it as a joke, mostly because the posting said so...
Awesome. Ahh...to be the rubber band age again...
What's up with the adults in the background? They look like are enjoying your son taking a faceplant into the concrete.what a douche...
