today i went to my fave bike shop and I met the very trusted bike mechanic and we chatted a bit about the #cyclingtour of last summer.
I am so lucky to know my bike in really really good hands!!
this time I got new brakes and I'm installing them myself tomorrow.
it's not that hard but I'm really clumsy at bike repairing.. i'm not clumsy at all at most other stuff but I don't have bike repair mojo..
@distelfliege Bike maintenance is like an Art my bro did it in a pro London shop for many years and still it's not easy. Worth payin especially if it's a commuter famalamalam
@plesuvius yep. and this guy is like an old shaman with bikes.
my bike is used for commuting and touring and I rode over 5000 km last year *a little proud* so I know I've got to invest in it and some stuff needs to get replaced every two years.
@plesuvius thank you! :)
@distelfliege you should be well proud 5k km is an extremely good amount of exercise on a push bike! Congratumalations!
