Here's a funny about the bungees:
When I went to purchase the bike, the owner and I were going over the bike etc. in his garage, his young daughter (4-5 yrs old) came in while we were talking, and I heard her say in the background "daddy, can I have the bungee cords?". It didn't even register with me at the time, I actually didn't even notice them on the bike, I was looking at other components........ When I got home, I finally realized what she was talking about.......I'm so clueless.
