Sky Blue, circa late 1970s. No idea what brand; no labels besides ‘Pro Tour’ and an address for a bike shop in Minneapolis or Chicago or someplace.
Bought it for ten dollars at a garage sale last summer, rode it everywhere, it got a super wicked flat, I got super wicked lazy.
Tonight, I changed the front tube and tire. Now the front looks super chic compared to the back..which is still worn down nylon. Definitely hadn’t been changed since manufacture. Anyway, the bike is usable.

Now I need to:
Change the back tire & tube.
Lube the chain.
Replace or fix the seat.
Get a new air pump.
Wash the whole damned thing.

Eventually I’ll have to replace the brakes & probably paint it, but that can wait for later. And yes, it’d be way cheaper to get a new bike.
But that’s not really what this is about.

So, another of my goals that I’m taking real steps to accomplish is to become a CNA. And I’ve decided that during training, I’m going to keep my first job as well, but after that I’m going to switch to just working as a CNA. One more month at the grocery store, and then two goals down!
