Bikes

I guess I never showed the process of getting bikes ready for summer did I?
Well we have several bikes. Ben, Connie, Ashley, and my two-wheeler. Then I have a recumbent trike and a kid trailer and Heather has a bike and a kid trailer. Alex has a bike now and Danny has the starter bike.

It takes an assembly line approach to get them inspected, oiled, fixed, and tires aired up.

First we go get them from the garage at the little house. This takes the pick up of course!


We get a lot of looks going down the road with a truck full of bikes!
Connie will ride hers back and forth from my house to hers. Heather's bike and trailer are going to
be at my house due to her being in an apt. I am only half a block away.

I do the moving of the bikes from one person to another.
Connie does the oiling.
Then I move it to Ben for the tires.






Then we check to see if anything needs adjusting or repairing and Ben takes care of that.

I ride a recumbent trike Ben bought for me a few years ago when we realized I couldn't ride my two wheeler (the one Ben is putting air in). So my old bike is here for the grandkids since it was only ridden a couple of times by me.
Sorry I don't have a pic of my bike handy. I'll add one later if I think of it but you can google it.


This year was pretty good. Connie's bike needed brakes adjusted and will need tires by the end of summer. Ashley's bike need a lot of tlc but we have till the end of summer to do that for her. She will be back around time for school to start.
