So I laid in the gress till the pain as managable. Then released the front brake and rode the bike the rest of the way home (about 3 miles.) I had put 6720 miles on the Denali fron Oct of last year to Saturday. Which makes the cost per mile for the Denali $0.0235.
This is what pisses me off about drivers in Florida. For some inexplicable reason, drivers forget that bicycles (and motorcycles) are vehicles too. And you're supposed to know that for your computer-based portion of your driving test. To top it off, many drivers don't stop at places indicating 'Stop for Pedestrians', like on the road outside my dad's neighborhood.
CigTech, you have the biggest balls in TampaBay to commute on a bike. Bravo!
I'm waiting for the Denali II posts.
I went to two Walmarts, both supercenters, no Denali in stock.
