Sorry to hear about this Joe. That ride through Leucadia is always sketchy in my opinion without a legit bike lane.

I agree, great job marty! I'm also with Matt on this for those who pre-ordered, and I'm one of them. It would be a substantial change to the design that was presented to early adopters and therefore if they're going to go through with this they need to contact each of those people. It sounds like
