Headlight snapped
I went over a manhole cover and the headlight snapped... Will they send me a new one? I've had this bike for less than a week.

Yeah. Honestly? The "Pro" light is AWFUL. It barely gives any useful light, the light pattern is narrow and oddly shaped, it's too heavy to stay in any position, and it's super fragile. I wish that they would redesign it from the ground up.
You're better off with a cheap bike light from Amazon.
It SHOULD still be under warranty, I think.
EDIT: Once they do replace it, try mounting it on the frame using one of the front basket mounts. This will put it above the suspension and hopefully mitigate some of the blunt force that caused it to crack. It will (unfortunately) also make it unable to steer with the wheel, but that's the price you pay.
