I love riding a bike BUT .....

[NotSoBigBen]

Prefer to ride my bikes than work on them, but do it on odd occasion...if i have to...at a push.

 

Does it make me lazy, nope. I do all my own gardening and have 2 koi ponds to look after which keeps me buy on weekends. After a hard days work standing round a braai with friends and family i can show the results of my work,most are non cyclist's so it will seem pretty odd asking them to look at my bikes while chatting to them

 

I have 2 LBS's who share the maintenance, the cost of a minor service is the same as what most people pay their gardener anyhow.

 

No laziness implied big guy! I willingly pay the garden service

Provide the 'big' bits and I do it with pleasure - anything for you

 

what do I need?

I love "pottering" with my bikes (as my wife calls it).

 

I have learned so much playing with my bikes and can now do all my own work.

 

I love bringing a classic steel bike back to life, because they do have souls man! They have the power to make us happy (when we are not swearing at why the f@!ing thing won't go in!!!!!!)

I was a bike mechanic in my previous life, I love working on and building bikes!
