Well, I’m working two half-days each week at the Fremont bicycle shop, which has been great in terms of helping me get some of my bike skills back. I still can’t do everthing I used to, since I can’t see well. But it’s a start, and I think it’s helping Dan, the owner, out too. So far I’ve just been working the floor and doing some bike building. I can’t wrench well enough yet to work on other people’s bikes. We are now booking for June 2 on tuneups and stuff! Pretty amazing. I’ve been building a lot of Electras and a few Schwinns, plus a couple of Trek kids’ bikes.
I went out again on Thursday on the Red Rocket with Tom. We rode 22 miles and enjoyed nice weather after work. It was good to be outside. I’ve been riding my trainer (over 200 miles now) but it’s not nearly as fun as being outside, so the tandem rides are a bonus. Tom swapped saddles and pedals for me, too, so now I can clip in. It’s all good.
