Sorry to hear about this. Being let go is never pleasant, particularly if it's through no fault of your own , and it's a shock if you've had no prior warning. But, as you say , dealing with the worst of human nature on a daily basis is appalling and distressing. It also sucks that the bottom line trumps the welfare of the most vulnerable. I admire your resilience, though, and I couldn't agree more that bikes are a wonderful solace. I sincerely hope this is the start of a more rewarding journey for you.
