Un-steal-worthy bike
I got home yesterday and fixed up my old bike. My very old bike. I haven't used it in years, so naturally there's a little rust on parts and the minor accessories weren't exactly in the greatest of shape. However, the tires are fine, the inner tubes hold air, and the brakes stopped me faster than I'd anticipated. So it's a cheap, lackluster bike that won't get stolen if I leave it on campus. It seems serviceable, though I'm going to test that assumption further when I take it out for a ride this afternoon. If all goes well, I have my get-me-to-school bike. I'll have to replace the seat though...it's held on with duct tape. I told my dad, "You know your bike is crap if part of the tune-up is the replacement of duct tape." Haha...but at least it works for now.
