WOW! That is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
It's kind of upsetting when people who we think know us... obviously don't know us at all. You would hope that he would know you enough (and maybe take a look at you and your bike), and understand why that is something you would NEVER use.
I know it's the thought that counts... but I too hate when people waste money on me... buying me something that I will only take to Goodwill. Why waste money like that?
Oh well, at least you can return it.
