Case notes

Today's Puzzle:

In hindsight this may have been referring to a bicycle frame with a set of handlebars on it as opposed to a facial hair style. Now that I see the bicycle frame head on, the pedals, and knowing how the bars help with the solve, I can't unsee it!

Excellent puzzle that's difficult until the end. Almost like learning how to bicycle where it all comes together very quickly at the end just as you ride off into the distance 😉
