If they really wanted to stick it to the police, they should have kept selling them bikes but only sell them bikes with Presta Valves.

But seriously, give up a lucrative government contract because of 3 low level employees, are they nutz. Bike shop’s margin’s a thin enough with the competition from Walmart, Target, Dick’s etc. They will feel it burn.

LOL. I hate those things. They're a solution to a problem that I'm unaware of.

My thoughts exactly.

They don’t say GET WOKE GO BROKE for no reason.

I don't know why, but that's funny as hell.

True that! One of my sons works for Trek as a lead mechanic in a flagship store. It's not just the fifty bike sales that the idiots in Austin, TX are missing out on, Austin PD spends big bucks getting those bikes maintained as well. My son who works for Trek says it's really the maintenance that brings in the $$$ to Trek's stores.

And Trek doesn't work on the junk bikes people buy from WalMart, Target, etc.. beyond fixing a flat tire. They don't do it because the repairs/adjustments often cost more than the junk bikes themselves.

As the owner of a vintage Trek 1100 full aluminum road bike circa 1992, that was just funny as hell.

A lawsuit on a platter....

You cannot break ANY contract on such worries or thoughts.

Judge Judy would have a field day with this one.

My mountain bike

has a Presta AND a Schrader valve.

The shop owner had to switch out the front wheel on another bike he sold, so he gave me a BIG discount.

I haven't had any problems, but what you posted is still just plain funny.

I’m going out on a limb here and saying those three will be the first to go when cuts in personnel begin.

In WTH cases like this, I suspect the owners thought the same and used those three as an excuse.
