If Bradford really needs a bike, and that was his reason for taking the
Ghost Bike to begin with, I'll be down to donate some money to get him a
bike.
Beyond donating, I'll second what Rick said in that it took a great amount
of courage to return the ghost bike and face up to what he did. Returning
it, leaving
