Summary

Cycling Sports Group is recalling about 3,100 Cannondale Bad Boy and Bad Girl commuter bicycles from the 2010-2012 model years. The bicycle's fork axle can crack during use, which can lead to a sudden loss of control and falls. The firm has received 30 reports of these axles cracking, including one incident where a rider suffered a concussion and bruising. These matte black bicycles were sold at authorized Cannondale dealers nationwide from June 2010 through December 2014 for between $1,000 and $1,800. Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycles and contact an authorized dealer for a free fork replacement.

Risk

The bicycle's fork axle is prone to cracking, which can cause the front wheel to become unstable or detach. This defect has already resulted in 30 reported failures, including one fall that caused a concussion and significant bruising.

What You Should Do
