Many of us will settle for reading about handmade frames and bikes online or attending events showcasing them. And very few of us will actually attempt to build one. Surely, the know-how aspect is a huge barrier, as many may not have a mind bent toward frame building.

But McLean, who lives at a property owned by Home Forward-and is severely visually impaired-didn't know he'd been served previous eviction papers or that he was behind on rent.

To make things worse, court summons were being sent to a mailbox he didn't have access to.
