Relative Something

No time to write, I gotta go bike! My friends are gathering for an extended jaunt and post-ride lunch today. Yahoo! I’ll take my camera.

Last night I finally got around to finishing the spring touch-ups on my bicycle, just in the nick of time. I had already given it an extreme cleaning, including scrubbing the drive train components to a brilliant shine. I don’t know why I bother. It doesn’t last very long. I also replaced both tubes and put on new tires.

So, last night I finally replaced the tape on my handle bars, snugged up the brakes a bit, and changed the cleats on my shoes instead of buying new pedals. I also adjusted the spring clip on my old pedals just a little tighter. A couple minor changes that I will interpret as feeling like having a whole new bike, …at a fraction of the cost.

Oh, and while I was at the bike shop, I picked up a new rain jacket, just to make sure it doesn’t rain, if you know what I mean.

Bring on the bikin’!
