That BA in Math was FINALLY put to use!

DH still commutes on his silver LeTour. I don't know what he'll do if (when) it finally goes off to that big bike shop in the sky.

Do the Unitarians do bike funerals?

We can do anything.

Including bike funerals.

Her frame is only 1020 steel. Some research told me that means plain old steel. The Traveler is CroMo. I'm not sure why the Traveller wound up in the loft. An ex-BF was trying to get me to discard some bikes. I forget how many I had, But I had paid $50.00 for the Traveller at Goodwill, so no way. I was worried that if I lost my bike, I would quickly get out of the habit of cycling. So I guess this was a compromise to keep him off my back. Funny thing was, the cleaned garage started filling up with motorcycle and VW parts . (he did'nt live here. If I am going to have clutte around, it may as well be mine.
This did happen when I got a car, suddenly, I had no time to bike anywhere, or it was raining, or too inconvenient, or whatever.

Now I am down to the two Schwinns, and a mountain bike style bike. I found it laying on a downtown sidewalk, turned it into the police, but it went unclaimed, so I could claim it. It's probably a Huffy-type. I also have a home brew bike trailer that I pulled from a dumpster. One wheel was bent nearly in half. I'll get around to fixing it one of these days.

I miss my Raleigh three speed She was stolen from my yard last year. I would leave her on the side of the house, behind a bush, and she couldn't be seen from the street, maybe someone saw me come home and leave it?

I was so worried about my Traveller last night. I left her at the bike shop and brought the Le Tour home, since I needed the rack, then it got dark and I got lazy. And I thought about her, being only locked with a cable, and in a business area, where there would be no pedestrian traffic. And today at a rummage sale, I locked her tire up. Those few hours of intimate fondling have forged a bond. I was afraid someone would buy her by accident from the rummage sale .

How long has the PSU coop been around?? I don't think it existed when I was a student there! I would be sad to know that it did, and I didn't know about it!

I graduated in 2001. I didn't know about it either, so I don't think it was around. But it sure is hard to learn about things on that campus! I learned about it from an ad in an event calendar. Why they would advertise in a calendar for the general public is beyond me . Maybe it wasn't something they paid for, but instead got included because they sponsored an event?

Things change so rapidly on that campus. I know that the rowing team went from brand new, to having people who competed in at a top level (well one person), same with the sailing club. But like I said it is in the department of alternative transportation, so it sounds more like part of the "facility" operation at PSU, rather than driven by student interest. Does the EPA, or DEQ require such things for a large employer?

I didn't see any dates on their webpage.
