I've had my Townie Electra with a Mit TL343 for about 4 weeks now. Two Sundays ago rode up on sidewalk and swerved to miss a car coming out of a subterranean garage. Hit a 3ft. diameter metal lampost head on. Next thing I know I'm on my back in a paramedics ambulance in a neck brace heading for the hospital trauma unit. The fireman was showing me my cracked . helmet and how it saved my life. I spent 5 hours on a table unable to move until MRI and cat scan showed no damage. No concussion, no fracture just bruised and sore all over especially my neck. Luckiest day of my life!!
I beg all of you to wear your helmet any time you get on that bike.
The cost to repair the bike is almost as much to buy a new one so that is what I will do. I just use the old one for spare parts.
Thanks for listening
