The California Highway Patrol said the bike had those quick lock
wheels or whatever they are called. You can just push a lever and the
wheel pops off. For whatever reason the wheels just popped off. I
have had that happen a long time go when I had a 12-speed with those
locks. It was handy to change the tires, but if I hit a big bump, my
tire or tires would come off. It looked like an older bike, but the
CHP said it was a motorized mountain bike.I wouldn't think a montain
bike would have locks that would release the wheel that easily. He
was riding on pavement, but ere were some pt holes.
