Newbie here, so forgive me if I picked the wrong area for my problem.
Kids 16", single speed, coaster bike. Got for Christmas from Wal-mart b/c he LOVES Superman. http://www.walmart.com/ip/16-Huffy-DC-Superman-Boys-Bike/27831881
Worked fine until today! I didn't believe my son at first since he's a little small for the bike. Pedals no longer turn or turn with great difficulty. I can barely move them by hand forward or backward. At first it would work backwards.
Would too tight of a chain (e.g., back wheel may have slipped though I can't see that it has & the chain does have some play in it) have this symptom?
Maybe a crank bearing has already broke/misaligned/come out, etc?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
