    Indeed!


    I'd also like to say the repairs are about as Zip Tie Alley as you could ask for. Picture rows of zip tie "sutures" holding broken plastics together. Priceless! I am so proud.

    He learned the lesson that you should never ride directly behind another rider when you don't know where their brake marker is.

    The guy checked up earlier & harder than Dan expected & he had to get on the binders hard to avoid putting his front tire into #262's exhaust pipe.
