Flutterby™! : Bike stuff of the morning

Two from Shadow:

• Trek recalls a million bicycles for a situation where the front quick release can interfere with the front disc brake, leading to permanent injury of the rider. My local cycling email list suggests that Trek is the first, and the problem stems from people just tightening up the QR and not clamping it.
• Boston "bike flap" trooper to be "counseled". Trooper parked his cruiser in the bike lane, and was unapologetic:

“The department will reiterate to those troopers on the bridge Tuesday our responsibilities to bicyclists, and will counsel the trooper who spoke to the cyclist about the proper way to respond to concerns raised by members of the public,” Procopio said.
