Bert's Bike Shop

The bike repairs are actually going to be almost two hundred dollars, as the shop pointed out the dry rot on the tires, and talked me into replacing the handgrips, where were foam, said foam having been in bad shape since I was in high school.

I dropped the bike off at the local shop today in the early afternoon, and was told it'd be done by Friday. Apparently that was a rather liberal estimite, because when I got back from class just now, I had a phone message that my bike was done and ready for pickup. Perhaps most people got their bikes fixed a few weeks ago, when the weather just became nice.

At any rate, while they are still open, I think I'll go get the bike tomorrow morning. Riding to class every day should be fun, and good excercise that's easier on my knees than jogging.

Underpromise and overdeliver: a classic way to keep the customer happy.

Oh, and enjoy riding your bike. I've been thinking about buying myself one again.
