Default OSH '07 Redux -- Part II -- The Week

"Wheel and sprocket has closed. Please return rental bikes to our retail
store at xxxxxxxx st". That was a couple of miles away and on the other
side of the highway. I hope they don't come back, we don't need that
attitude.


Wow! What an amazing display of arrogance.

Contrast this with the good folks at Goodwill Industries, who (after
initially screwing up) moved heaven and earth to get a truckload of
bikes in for those of us out in the North 40.

The manager even gave us her cell phone number, so we could call
before hiking back to her store, just to make sure the bikes had
really arrived.

For $15 per bike, we were able to ride all week long, and then donate
the bikes back to Goodwill at weeks' end.

A good deal for all.
