Bianchi84 a bike like this has "7%+ hill" for grade school boys pushing it to the top for a, death ride, written all over it, likely explanation for speedometer cable going "Kaaabloooey".
But then dating self that was in my childhood.
LOL, what possessed my parents when for 10th birthday they gave me a functioning bow and arrow set, of course the first thing me and best friend HAD to do is see how far it would shoot straight up into the sky, followed by mad dash to get under cover of the garage roof when 'insightful' comment of best buddy "Wonder where it's going to come down?" was realized.
No it didn't come down on roof of house or garage which would have been a parenting moment for my father to come home to, "Hmmm, arrow pointing strait up through the roof" and a subsequent learning experience for me.
