Kristen - I have been following this thread since the beginning & feel so bad for you. You have every reason to be sensitive and defensive, but I hope now you understand that none of us here mean you any harm. We are here to help and support you and that is what we will do.

Keep in mind that all of our communication to you (as is yours to us) is through print and sometimes it is easy to misinterpret the meaning in what is written. Try to take each post for what it says and avoid "reading" additional meaning into it. We want only the best for you & will be here cheering you on toward getting another bike and all the other things you need to become the rider you were a few years ago.

Take care. -jane
