Sadly, I only had two weeks on the new ride until I found the newly installed parklets in my downtown corridor the hard way. Surprisingly, everything else was fine.
what make is that bike. I would have expected bikes to be way more robust than this. and I thought the whole ~*triangles*~ thing make them super strong lol

Is that a Kona sutra?

Sadly, yes, once. You only make this mistake once per frame, because the frame is toast after that. Hopefully you and I will both only make this mistake once ever.Â

No, but my wife hit a curb hard enough to crumple her collarbone, does that count?

Yes!!! Happened to me to but was a pothole, and it buckled not only the downtube, but the toptube as well!

No.
Get a BMX. Learn to bunnyhop. Become a better rider before getting back onto an adult-wheel bike.

No I haven’t
The fork looks suspect too
I’m waiting for the “Steel is real!” peeps to chime in.
Now you know where the butting profile draws out.
No. But I did stay at a holiday inn express last night
Did you go down and the frame hit the curb?
I hit a pothole so hard that I bent the downtube and tore the toptube.
