There are no words to describe how impossible it is to get Sharon out of bed before noon. Successful attempts are few, but usually involve ripping the covers off the bed, yelling from the other room that we have an emergency, and now, telling her that her bike is going to rust if she doesn’t get it cleaned off TODAY. After getting a couple of new tires and tubes for the Raleigh Marathon I got off of craigslist a couple of days ago and gathering together the usual bike maintenance tools, we were ready to go. After a few hours of me working on my Raleigh and Sharon working on her Columbia cruiser, we were ready to go. We took them for a spin, but the wind got too strong and the clouds were quite threatening… and we figured we should get at least a bit of homework done today. Here are some pictures of our new bikes:
