Review on Thomas Train 8514 96TJ 14 Inch Black by Marcus Dortch

I bought this for my son's 4th birthday last year. He is madly in love with Thomas and was delighted with the bike, but only ridden it on his birthday and then put it aside because he wasn't feeling too well at the time. It sat in the garage like that for a year before finally deciding about a week ago that it was comfortable enough to switch from a trike to a bike. He literally only rode it for a week and it fell apart! One section of the pedal chain, I think it's called the crank, fell apart while cycling. The chain fell off, ball bearings fell out. SO DISAPPOINTED! I am so frustrated with this because not only can my son not ride a bike that he is finally doing it confidently but I wasted money on this purchase and the only way to fix his bike is to buy a new one. cranks or throws away his practically new bike!
