In sum, the foregoing evidence demonstrated that the transfers were not made in the ordinary course of dealing between Debtors and the Defendant.

After reopening the storefront on Griswold in Detroit, bike sales skyrocketed, quadrupling last year’s sales and selling out some of the company’s more popular models — the A-Type Commuter and the Sparrow Commuter.
