That's no fun! Hope they appologise copiously and get it sorted immediately.

I'm curiously to know what they could have possibly done to the pedals or crank???

"Baby" son (23, 6'6") wanted to borrow the car to go bouldering after class. So he biked up to my campus, stopping off at home to pick up a pair of shoes for me and planning to drop my bike off at the LBS on his way to the cliffs of H*ll. But hearing what had happened he thought it sounded familiar. It'd happened to him before. Loose gear wire. He tightened it, straightened out the chain, rode my bike around the parking lot shifting up and down a bit. Took him just a few minutes, then he called me on my cell phone and asked where I wanted him to park the repaired bike. Now I'm off to ride her home.

Hooray -sounds like you raised that boy right! Have a great ride home.

Weeeeelll, UK Elephant will point out to anyone who asks that we spoiled the Baby Bear. Of course, relative to first kids, all later kids get spoiled. It's the first kid who teaches us we don't have to be so up-tight about everything. But on the whole, both big sister and baby brother have turned out ok. Big sister maybe a bit overly responsible and baby brother a bit overly laid back, but both very sweet and kind-hearted and not only taller but also better looking than their parents.

The ride home was sweet. All down hill so no exercize value, and straight into the setting sun so I had to ride the brakes not to outrun the stretch of road I could see, but still nice to be back on wheels. Tomorrow I ride both ways and get some cardio workout while also saving time (relative to walking).
