He left due to the commute for his wife or something like that.

 LOLWUT???

 His wife worked out of town or something so it was a far commute so he left to be closer and make things easier for her, at least that's what I gather from FB.

 Hmmm, I guess that would make her the bread winner in the relationship. That would also make Mike a hell of a husband if what you are saying is true.

 Id say.

 transition without metzger is like cookies without milk

 more like oreos without a double stuffed filling #notafanofmilk

 Thanks guys I appriciate all your comments! So my wife has over a 2 hr commute one way every day. So we are up at 3:45am everyday, gets old. Plus Ive wanted to move to Seattle because of the riding. Theres great DH here in B-ham, but I like the DJ, Freeride, Skatepark scene, and theres TONS around Seattle. Though Im leaving Transition Ill still be an ambassator for the company and riding a Transition Bike of Course. The new lifestyle will allow me to ride much more, and make more awesome edits, which I plan to do! Hopefully Ill see ya'll on the Trails!!!!!!!!!!!

 Best of luck Mike. You da man.

 What he said lol, gonna miss you at Transition your always super helpful anytime I called or asked anything, You are one of the reasons I'll go back to Transition for another bike very soon nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Unlike some company's I know.

 Well thanks guys, Im going to be doing a series called "The Wheel World" so it will be a mix of my NBD's and anything else I can think of, so hopefully youll be seeing more of me in the "Scene" and not just behind a desk POW POW~!

 Left... why would Transition ever drop Mike?

 No idea, thats why i asked

 Naw man he's been there from the start no way they'd ever drop him.
