It’s Bike to Work Day.

Which feels slightly awkward for us, professionally speaking. Whether it’s four wheels or two — just get where you’re going safely. 🚲

So y’all know we just had a pretty serious DO NOT DRIVE recall hit a bunch of GM vehicles yesterday…

Mostly unrelated, BUT…

We almost cried scrolling past this one. 😭

📋 NHTSA Recall #: 26V291
Manufacturer: Fontaine Trailer Company

For about 0.2 seconds we thought Fontaine had gotten himself recalled.

Turns out it’s actually for:
• 2025–2026 Fontaine Fusion Flat Bed Trailers
• Main beams may crack
• Also a DO NOT DRIVE recall

Meanwhile our Fontaine is still kinda structurally sound and operating within normal specifications. Probably. Hey Fontaine, how you doin', buddy?

Carry on. 😂

Getting your vehicle back after a repair and hearing nothing unusual is a good kind of quiet.

There’s always a brief internal debate before rolling the window down.

“Will this help… or make everything worse?”

A lot of memories happen in vehicles.

School runs, grocery trips, late-night talks, singing badly to the radio, “don’t make me pull this car over.”

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms behind so many of those moments. 💐
