Not what you think.
I desperately need a derailleur adjustment and perhaps a bit of rear brake fiddling. It turns out there's a bike shop just over a mile, just off my normal bike route for the area. It's easily rideable, except for one intersection, which makes the perfect place for pulling off the roade and just walking the block down to the shop.

Except for one thing: The reason my derailleur needs to be adjusted is because I currently don't have use of my middle and small chain rings. I need them to get up the hills involved.

So I could either walk the bike for the two-mile round trip*, or I could wait until August to take my bike over to the LBS where I bought my bike. Hmph.

*They don't open until noon. If it's going to be warm, I'm not carrying my helmet and shoes with me.
