Would a 5 year old bicyclist be responsible for being hit by a truck?

Tanniaah S

Can someone tell me whether this child should be at fault for this accident when the driver says he came to a complete stop to let 2 other kids by! But there were skid marks in the street and the driver was on the wrong side of the road? Causing the childs bike to be under the driverside wheel ,shoe knocked off and head injuries. Speed limit was 25. no insurance no citations given. The driver gave false insurance information also. I am in Iowa!

Answer
a pedestrian or bicyclist always has the right of way over a car, unless the bicyclist pulled in front of the car suddenly. did you take pics of the scene? did you ask for witness names? what did the presiding officer write in his report? did you file an accident report for the child? this sound like a civil suite to me.

What forks and or exhaust can I use to replace original ones on my tomos tx 50?

Its a 2001 Tomos TX50 off road childs bike that is in need of restoration, spare parts seem to be extremely rare in the UK where I am based so I am looking for alternatives. Any ideas and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lex

Answer
The forks are pretty standard fare, anything the same diameter should be ok, you may need to buy a pit bike or scooter front end if you can' t find a set to match your wheel. the exhaust is pretty basic, any muffler shop could bend that up.
