Bike Recall
December 9, 2010, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
There is a recall of about 200 Redline bicycles. Seattle Bike Supply, the manufacturer of the bike, has received reports that the head tube is separating from the frame, causing the rider to lose control and fall. Seattle Bike is the exclusive distributor in the United States for Lapierre cycles, WeThePeople, Macneil, BeBop pedals and Basil bags.
It seems like this bike manufacturer has gotten out in front of this small recall although they received four reports of people suffering minor injuries as a result of this problem. The thing about a bike, though, is that what would be a small accident to a car can be a serious or fatal accident on a bike.
