Just sayin…this is not what was being reported on BB and I had common sense to not send it out to my contacts like everybody else had sent me. Please be careful on what u send out people. On another note…I am really glad that the lady is much better than what was stated yesterday.
Dang rental agencies!!! They really need to stress the importance of staying in the left lane and the yreally need to install a proper road safety adn bike test for these would be motorists.
