Lonely - my bike is in the shop

[RolliePollie]

I miss my bike and I just feel like whining about it

She had to go to the shop today. She is skipping gears, shifting by herself, and making clicking noises in the back. Her front wheel is chirping like a bird. Her back tire is all worn out. I'm sure she'll be all better soon because my LBS is just wonderful and they assured me they'll take good care of her.

On the bright side, it's kind of a nice feeling to know that I've ridden her enough that she's ready for a tune-up. But she's not here in the house with me and I can't ride her tomorrow. I think I am officially in love with her. I am lonely without her! Boo hoo hoo, wah wah wah.

I feel your pain.

Maybe you should buy a sister bike, to keep your bike company and to keep you from suffering so much when one is in the shop.

Knot - what a wonderful idea! Hmmm, perhaps I should go shopping...

My bike gets jealous when it has to compete with other bikes for attention, but likes having another bike to canoodle with.

Aww...

I know the feeling, though. My bike was in the shop yesterday for fenders and for some chain issues. I had to drop her off Monday night, and it was really strange having that empty spot. *snif*

This is why I have more than one bike!

I have a friend with a stable full of bicycles because he likes to mess around with them and fix them up. I have a stable full of bicycles because I am really bad at fixing them, so I need to have enough bikes so one of 'em is working

We have four bikes right now and need to sell two Giant hybrids. We love our new road bikes and won't ride the Giant's enough to warrant keeping them.

It is nice to have another bike....or two.....or even three. Just think of it as bikes that have a specialty. One is for commuting, another for rainy days, another for fast, zippy rides and another........
