U B the expert: Do your own bike repairs
I've noticed a dramatic increase in the number of bicycle riders in my hometown this summer, many, I presume, driven to pedal by the rise in gas costs. Many of these bikes are not working properly, but need only simple adjustments to return them to peak operation. Bicycles are relatively simple machines, and anyone with a little patience can do much of the work themself and save the cost of a bicycle shop tuneup. (03/07) MoreYou may also like
