Like a fresh coat of paint on a sheet of plywood, a fresh set of wheels makes all the difference. The old basket bike has been collecting dust for a couple years. But the other day I pumped up the tires and rode it to my other-other job for a couple weeks and that made me realize how I’ve neglected this 33 year old bike since I bought it 13 years ago. So, first I replaced the handlebar with a mondo sized cruiser that makes the giant basket seem dainty again. Then new brake pads all around. Then a new-used set of wheels and nearly new tires and this bike makes me smile again on slow rides to Safeway and if I had a bike blog I’d tell you all about it.
