Yes and LMAO.

OK. If a thief saw a Velohawk pod, wouldn't it make him more interested in its content? No one has a Huffy in there...

WAF is achieved by purchasing the matching shoe box in a slightly smaller but infinitely classier motif with builtin exfolliator. Holds 500 pairs of shoes, minimum.

Out of sight is out of mind. If there is a row of bike boxes somewhere, which one has a bike in it? Do I risk arrest trying yo break into an empty box?

Just to be clear; all this hand wringing is about a product that no one knows the actual price of?
