i finally took my bike to the bike kitchen today. had a scheduling conflict and didn’t start on my bike until 30 minutes before closing, but i managed to get new tires. i thought everything was fine and dandy and was excited to start riding my bike, but upon further inspection, the volunteers there discovered that my brakes need to be changed. since i had run out of time and was running late for something else, i was forced to put that on hold. i’ll be busy for the next 2 weekends, but i hope to go back immediately when i’m free.

That’s how the back tyre went when it went flat. Really want to get my bike fixed this coming week, as I love my bike and it makes me feel so free and happy to ride it! :)

set up so I ride stationary. Since my accident, it’s just been sitting there broken and sad : ( It’ll be happy again!!

My poor bike
14 months ago
Has lived in the shed for years, been used twice, needs a good service before I can use it again. Would love to get it done.

There’s a bike shop near (ish) to where I live. I’m going to ring them up and see if they can order the wheels I want in and do up my bike. I need to be back on the saddle soon. :P

getting my bike fixed and biking is actually two goals.. i enjoy checking things off of lists so to have two goals lumped into one makes the task seems a lot greater than it is. it’s all mental, really.

i’m doing a project this term involving bicycles, and it’s forced me to search around for bikes. i already bought two old ones, and and im love with this purple “free spirit” one and have decided to keep it for myself. over spring/summer, i plan on taking it to the bike kitchen for a face lift so i can begin riding it!
i’ve always wanted to ride bikes around but have been too scared to do so. (i didn’t have one to begin with anyway.)

Dad helped me wash the chain with kerosene.
I took the bike to the shop to get the gearing serviced.
Bought a new front tyre.
I bought a rack so that i could carry my sleeping bag, bed roll and kit.
bought some tools and spare bits for trip.
Am learning a bit about bike maintenance now.

How slack. Ok, this week. all i have to do really is get my father to plug his compressor into the tyres. that first anyway, unless there is a bigger problem with the tyres.
