http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trek-r ... ar-AAbvbk0 Quote: One person was left quadriplegic from the defect Quote: Trek is offering free replacement quick-releases and a $20 coupon for cyclists who bring their bikes in for inspection and tune-ups. Quote: "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you," quotes slightly out of context but i learned from msn to always bury the lead and go with what will get page hits. |

We have been working on a huge bid for them, might need to work on importing all these bikes back to them. |

Maybe the rider was one of those dopes, who was carrying something in their right hand, leaving their free hand to work the front brakes. |
