>>>Spoke protector discs, required on bicycles to prevent the bicycle chain from interfering or suddenly stopping the wheel, are missing from these bicycles. This poses a fall hazard to the rider.<<<

You mean that if I get the chain in the spokes or even my foot, I might fall?

I can’t believe that anyone could take such risk...

Or, does it mean that the whole rest of the world is so much smarter than we Americans are... They know something we don’t... (Foot in wheel=Fall on ground) Hey, was that Confucius who said that? /s
