I did see a nice unknown brand bike, probably from NL or DM based on the reflectors. It was a tall men's frame upright style. Figured it belonged to a guy, turned out to belong to a very tall, slender (6') dark skinned lady. Saw her riding down the road later the same day. Haven't seen her or the bike since.<BR/><BR/>Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.com
