I don't think they applied the wax right though, just hitting it with some WD40 isn't sufficient to completely clean off all the grease. Most people soak the chain in degreaser or even use one of those heated vibrating cleaners to really knock everything off and once it's completely clean/dry, then submerge it in a wax bath for at least a half hour to make sure it gets into everything.

Kids find independence from their parents without the costs of driving, though safety risks remain

Teens are taking to suburban streets across the U.S. while skipping a classic rite of passage: driving a car.

Instead, their families are spending as much as $3,000 on electric bicycles, the battery-powered vehicles that offer the convenience of traditional bikes without the sweat or strain that comes with unassisted pedaling.
