... (obviously with the exception of actually riding that
is)
1) Taking a humble touring bike in to a shop for a service
and the mechanic, who presumably has the pick of any bike
he chooses at a discount price from the shop's large
range, saying, "Wow, that's a really nice bike".
2) Servicing and rebuilding the hack and admiring its
ugliness (white frame, black luggage rack, blue and
red bottle cages (one of which is held on with
zipties), insulation tape holding down the cork tape
etc etc) whilst secretly knowing that it will go like
the clappers.
3) Being given permission to buy a new bike shed for the
bottom of the garden so that I can easily get at all
three bikes (currently two are obscured by the car).
any more?
