I got into verbal fisticuffs with the chat at Bike Closet this afternoon. Trying to buy a pair of Assos gloves on sale, couldn’t get them into the cart either last night or this morning. Finally I asked his name, a number of times, suggesting his boss might not like hearing about the way I was being treated. His response? “I’m the owner, and I’m here helping you out on a Saturday. But you put up a sale on Friday; you should expect to work Saturday”. Anyway, he changed a setting so I could delete 1018 of the 1019 pair in the cart, and I was able to buy them. They did use the shipping address in Co for the billing and shipping address. Maybe Mastercard won’t catch it. Maybe they don’t care.
Kudos to Bike Closet. Though their customer service could be a bit more polite.

Should I start a thread in A & S? This isn't garnering a lot of cycling love at Twitter.

welp, in the ER since friday’s mellow ride.
i am looking forward to getting back on the bike someday, and it’s been great getting into a new community, but when i get home next week after some procedures i’m going to sell the road bikes. having them around is too tempting and too frustrating to see and not be able to use.
if i end up getting a transplant, i’ll definitely be riding … A LOT. so maybe i’ll be back on this thread in a few years. thanks for the hospitality and don’t let bam buy too many more bikes
