uwuplantboi on June 19, 2024 1:29 pm I bought this bike online from this link: [https://kent.bike/products/700c-metro-h1-w](https://kent.bike/products/700c-metro-h1-w) Is this plastic piece something that needs to stay on the bike or is it just to protect it from shipping damage? I’m hoping to figure out how to assemble the bike myself but I know nothing about bikes..

Packaging material. It protects the bike during shipping.
