Woke up early and changed my tire.
Apparently I'd run over a sturdy one inch nail
that was still embedded in the tube :P
Fortunately I had a spare and swapped it in.
Then I took the opportunity and time to clean the chain.
Now Roxie is happy and whirry clicky, ready to go.
But I'm waiting for things to air dry first before lubing again.
Practical bicycle maintenance is my life :P
Mae Bell sat on the couch to watch while I did all this, out of
the way but attentive. However, my roomie's cat Shadow was all
up in my business; sniffing everything,jumping through the bike
frame, rubbing on the other tire and poking around. He was my
little helper, and he was very cute.
Working a toothbrush on your bike chain for an hour is a very
zen thing to do, once you get into the rhythm of it.
