"I don't think a video is really necessary for Metra... just remember to make sure it's at a time you can take the bike on, bring a bungee chord, look for a handicap accessible car, and get there early.Also, have a backup plan. "

MK replied to Brendan Kevenides's discussion 'Could this be the holy grail of bike theft recovery devices?'

MK replied to Amber's discussion 'Best bike helmet?'
"I've got a Bern and it fits nice, though the warning tags on it that said "This is not a helmet" were a little unnerving. I have a friend who just got a Nutcase helmet which she says is the best helmet she ever had. I might look into…"
