A fully loaded police MTB has to weigh around 100lbs whereas a lightly outfitted RB probably wouldn't weigh more than50lbs. That's one helluva HUGE difference, especially after the first 50 miles of a shift's patrol.
Say I need a definition for the phrase "Unclear on the concept" as it relates to "refuses to accept factual information." Can anyone help?

Never mind. Hr1 stepped up.
