    Had to double check to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.

    I'd like to see a video of him attempting to load his bike. It's still hard for me to visualize the struggle he's having without carnival music playing in my head.

    If the front tire is wedged in the corner and the back tire tire is up against the bed, it seems like leaning it toward the bedside would keep it upright long enough to hop out and close the tailgate.

    Just seems like he's making it unnecessarily difficult.

    Grom is always whining about how it’s 2020 and doesn’t feel like it should be required to identify. Minus it’s constant bitching and avocado toast, I’m all about that grom life. Because you can’t NOT cause trouble on a grom.
