I am sitting here waiting for my bicycle to be finished. The bike guys needed to put on my fenders, basket (gotta have a basket), and seat lock. I am waiting at a lovely cafe where I had the freshest sandwich in a long time. The bread was so fresh they must have baked it this morning! Hopefully the bike will be done soon.
1 hour later...
I got my bike and it looks fabulous! The lavender looks good! The guy helped put it in the backseat of my convertible and off I went. When I got it home I ran into a stumbling block; I could not remember how to put the front tire back on the correct way. These new fangled things are not like they were 30 years ago! Finally after I tried 15 attempts and there was sweat in my eyes, I asked a neighbor to help. Turns out I tightened the thingies too tight. In other words I did it too well! Always an overachiever! I got it all fixed and I took it for a test ride. Then Brenda took it for a test ride. She assured me that she was fine riding a bike (although she had not rode one in, uh, 40 years) and she almost immediately scraped the neighbors car and hit a parked scooter! Scared me to death! She needs a bike helmet for sure!
I finished putting on the water bottle holder and my cute bell and now I am good to go. Of course now it is almost 100 degrees and no one wants to be outside. Perfect timing!
Until tomorrow...
