Two Wheel Blogs

A few people have been asking, so I thought I might post up some info here.

Unfortunately, I can not tell you of any fun or inspiring rides yet. I am still out of commission waiting for my hip to heal (walking is still painful). Every day is a little better, and every day I can do a little more before I have to stop.

I hope to get most of my bike back today. I have not overly rushed any of the repairs as I have not really felt optimistic about trying to ride. I have a plan though.

I sent my brakes back to their maker for inquiry as to why the front brake causes so much shutter (in spite of trying every pad, toe in, and adjustment imaginable). This action will ensure that my bike is completely unsafe to be ridden except for on the trainer. This is probably a good move on my part (removing temptation to even try riding outside).

The rest of the bike should be ready today, and honestly today is the first day that I want to try it. I also think I might be able to ride on the trainer (previously, I was fairly certain that it would hurt).

In any event, it will be really nice to have my bike back. I may not be able to ride it (outside or on the trainer), but at least I will have most of my bike back to remind me that I am still a cyclist!
