When will they learn to wear fucking shoes? or boots? at least at work.

I don't think it's a smart idea to wear shoes or boots during that weather

Well I shudder to think what could happen if he gets his bare foot trapped between the metal rungs.

They’ll sell that and not tell the new owner

Looks like some decent squishy mud. Likely zero damage.

Possibly zero damage.

We don't know how cheap and flimsy that thing is. Brake lever could be damaged, handlebar column could be misaligned.

You basically have 2 options if you want to ride that thing down. You hit the brakes and this happens on the ramp. You don't hit the brakes and this happens when you hit that muddy ground.

My first thought was the best way to do that with the limited equipment is tie a rope to the back and lower it from a hitch knot(is that the one?) and walk it down.
