The Cheapest Replacement Part
Big Douse was interested in the fixing of the seatpost
(or rather, he wanted to be in the picture).
I wasn't really sure what to do about my broken bike seat. I didn't really want to ride all the way over to the bike shop. It's a major pain to ride without somewhere to sit. Thankfully, my good friend Dave read my former blog entry on the subject and delivered me from my troubles. He offered to drive me to the bike shop this evening. Performance didn't have zip. G.I. Joe's didn't have zip (I refuse to call it "Joes"). Finally, The Bike Gallery had just the thing. I was beginning to think I would have to replace the entire seatpost, which can be expensive. No one had the diameter of post to match my bike - literally no one. The Bike Gallery had the replacement bolt I needed though. So I fixed my bike for a buck! Awesome!
Thanks Dave, for dropping me off at the Smiths' for community group. Thanks, all who were there, for being a continual blessing to me. Yummy hamburger (and Jelly Bellies)! Thanks, Ashby, for bringing your yarn and allowing me to finger knit a rope. I'm amazed I still remembered like a veteran. It has been probably 20 years since I've done that! Thanks, cousin Tracy, for teaching me how to finger knit a LONG time ago at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Gold Beach. Thanks, Wes, for giving me a ride home.
I know, it's backwards. I fixed it after taking this picture :)
It probably doesn't matter much, but the angle should push from behind (basic physics).
