And in a very welcome safety note—yesterday my helmet mirror popped off its bracket when I was at work. I didn't notice it until I had set off on my ride home, and, at that point, I figured, "Well, I'll find it tomorrow—I'm sure it's probably in the file cabinet drawer where I keep my helmet." But today, it wasn't there, nor was it anywhere else I could find. So, riding carefully, but feeling virtually naked without it, I did this route to Saline after work, and on the way to Weight Watchers I stopped at Performance Bike, where I had gotten it, to pick up another. But, alas, they were out! They told me they'd order some and have them in a couple of weeks, but I could not bear the thought of riding without it for two weeks. So, after we got home, I drove over to Wheels in Motion. But I wasn't able to get there until about 7:20, and, unknown to me, they had closed at 7:00. However, one woman employee saw me disconsolately staring in through the window, and she came to the door, spotted my name tag from work, and said, "Allen, is there something specific you were looking for?" I pulled my note of explanation for my facial wounds out of my pocket, and pointed to the empty end of my mirror bracket, and said, "I was hoping to get another mirror." I think she must have assumed that I lost it in my fall, but at any rate, she took pity on me, let me into the store, and I was soon equipped with a new mirror. So I commend Wheels in Motion on their sparkling customer service!
