So be careful guys - your mileage may vary. Maybe our lucky days are coming to an end.
2 weeks ago, I placed an order from ChainReactionCycles on Tuesday, for x2 tires, totaling $40, they arrived on Thursday (2days later) via DHL, and I owed them $20 for brokerage.

I hope you said "Go FUCK Yourself" in passing.

Are there seriously "D BAGS" like this out there? that say stuff like this? Unprovoked.

I'm pretty darn new at this whole cycling thing, and if someone said something like that to me while riding, I don't even know what I'd do.
