Fixing My Bike

08/04/15

This morning, I went into my backyard, grabbed my bike, and carried it into my house. Both tires are flat. The chain is probably rusted, and the back-wheel seems to be out of alignment or the back-brake is messed up in some way.

I haven't riden my bike in about a year.

I think it's time to try it out again. I've much liked my bus-riding in the past year, but I think I can more seriously make time for the productivity I manage on the bus than I can make time for exercise. So, it might be good to make my transportation exercise instead of productive.

I'm not quite sure how I should go about fixing my bike.

On one hand, fixing it myself could prove to be the budding of a useful skill. It could also prove frustrating or daunting enough that I keep putting it off.... Which itself is a thing I need to learn to overcome.

Screw having a free maintenance thing for my bike! Let's fix her up!
