Cycle Company manufactured a bicycle that it sold to Bike Shop, a retail bicycle dealer, which in turn sold it to Roth. Shortly thereafter, while Roth was riding the bicycle along a city street, he saw a traffic light facing him turn from green to yellow. He sped up, hoping to cross the intersection before the light turned red. However, Roth quickly realized that he could not do so and applied the brake, which failed. To avoid the traffic that was then crossing in front of him, Roth turned sharply to his right and onto the sidewalk, where he struck Perez, a pedestrian. Both Perez and Roth sustained injuries."If Roth asserts a claim against Bike Shop based on strict liability in tort, will Roth prevail?
Yes, if the brake failed because of a defect present when the bicycle left the factory of Cycle Company.  Yes, because the brake failed while Roth was riding the bicycle.  No, if Roth contributed to his own injury by speeding up.  No, if Bike Shop carefully inspected the bicycle before selling it.
