Rack Competition

I had an uneventful trip home last night but I can see that there is going to soon be an issue of too many bikes and not enough racks on the buses. Thankfully, they run two different routes out to Liberty Lake at about the same time. The first bus usually has a full rack but there is room on the second.

I have been trying to remember to take a bottle of water with me but I tend to forget it. I had one ready to go last night and I forgot it. I had one ready to go this morning and I forgot it. I seem to remember it just as soon as I want some water.

It is Day Three of my Month of Riding. By Day Six, I will begin saving money. It takes 5 1/2 days of riding the bus to pay for the Monthly Pass. There will be a big celebration on Tuesday.

I suppose I should make some mention to the local bike shop. The guy that owns it looks like Lance Armstrong. I took my bike back there yesterday and told him that the service he had performed on the bike did not fix the problem. I frankly do not believe that he did anything to it and neither does my Bike Consultant, Don.

I left it with him and he was going to again do a thorough cleaning or replace the bracket if needed. When I returned after work, he had not gotten to it yet.

So, I will try to take it in again today and see if he can "git r'dun" today.
