New Bike gadget

I took the Miyata into the bike shop yesterday. Cool new stuff got a Plane Bike Blinky Super Flash LED rear light. Cost a little more than the one here but I don't mind supporting my local bike shop. I also had John check my bottom bracket and the ORIGINAL grease was still inside. It had never been opened up at all. The grease was almost dried all the way out. The bearing races had pitting in them where the dried grease let the bearings cut into them. Here is thebottom bracket or a really similar one. I needed an English thread and he had it in stock. He also trued my wheels and the combination of those two things made a HUGE difference. Felt like a different bike, especially on the downhill/downwind side of my ride. I was MOVING really fast for me. I got a bell also since my really lame airhorn scared the crap out of the old people on the bike path. I got a bell that is very similar to this one but black. With the wheel truing and the othe new stuff it came to just under $100 bucks. HOT RIDE today but so much fun with the new stuff! Early ride tomorrow.

Rain Rain...go away

The rain is annoying. It started with a giant clap of thunder at about 3 am this morning. I would love to ride but lack some rain gear for my bike These two would make excellent Father's Day presents kids. I have a touring bike but lack many of the commuter accessories. This fender would be great if you have braze on bosses on your frame already Some of us out there are not as lucky as that and will need clip on fenders
I have 27" wheels but 700c is the closest size for fenders to fit my bike. Well some of you may have noticed more of a "commercial" approach to my posts. I am doing this mainly to inject more
dynamic content. I have also added a donate button for the Newton HS student faculty bike club. I have many special needs kids and lower income students in the club who cannot afford bike repairs and supplies. I also hope to someday raise enough money to purchase decent bikes for the club to ride at school. Would be awesome to get a sponsor that can help us travel to local and regional races and other riding events. So if you want to help kids get exposed to the lifelong joy of cycling then think about donating. If you stumble upon this and are interested, then shoot me a message to find out more info.
