Jessie, you couldn't be more right!
I recently took the plunge to replace a frayed cable to my rear derailleur... at first I doubted I could complete the task (sure I could remove the old cable... but replace the housing and a new cable???)

Let's just say, I'm going to replace all my cables now that I realized bike maintenance isn't that scary... really.

It's actually quite empowering to think that you can fix your own bike in emergency situations!!! (no longer have to wait for cute boys to help... although it doesn't hurt )
