Has anyone else considered that Bradford might need a bike? While we
don't have much information about his situation a couple things are
clear from his actions:

a) Something motivated him to take the ghost bike in the first place
b) He has a conscience, an awareness and a respect for others
c) He displayed courage and sacrifice in his return of the bike

Therefore I suggest we consider helping get him a bike of his own.
Oftentimes when people are at a tipping point in their lives all it
takes is the smallest action to change their course for the better.
Perhaps this is one such case.

I feel I should also point out that as a group we, the cycling
community, are quick to rise up in anger and indignation when one of our
own is wronged. It might be good to display selflessness, charity and
forgiveness sometimes as well.

Just something to think about.
