Hi, my dad found the problem... you just need to change the freewheel or cassette, depends on your bike. First just to make sure we have the same thing going on, have some one help you remove the wheel, if the freewheel or cassette is very loose than that is the problem... below are the links that helped me. It was less thank $20 to fix, the bike shop was charging $43.

BTW Alex is a great tutor... Thanks Alex.

I would visit your LBS for their opinion, but be careful when riding, if this is the cause, then if you stop pedaling while riding the chain can wrap up and jam the wheel.

Yup, that was the problem... thanks for your advice....
