Um,yeah,exactly. Bikes
DIRECT. As in,"direct to the customer,no bike shop in between". BD sends the bike straight to the customer,rather then to a shop like the other manufacturers do.
I don't see why so many people don't realize this. BD isn't like the other online companies where you're just supposed to put the front wheel on(and I've had several come into my clinic that needed more than that done). It's like regular bikes only the customer takes the place of the shop.
