Bikes. Parts. Chaos.
Brother David is Hometown Hero, Patriot. Young Man Brings Pride to Waconia. Do you want to read about the time little Dave added a motor to his skateboard? Take a look at "Beyond the Breaking Point", the Waconia Patriot's nearly 3,000 word story about Dave and his Arrowhead adventure. http://www.waconiapatriot.com/articles/2007/03/14/waconia_patriot/news/news03.txt In other news it was 81 degrees here yesterday. The handling on my road ride has been really sketchy since I put on a new stem and handlebar a couple weeks back. I was starting to think that I had lost any semblance of handling skills over the long winter. On the insanely beautiful ride home last night I realized it's because the handy centering stamp in the middle of my new bars is about three inches to the left of center. You'd think I would have noticed this earlier, but no. Apparently I trust the automated stamping process more than my own sense of balance. After I moved the bars to their actual center, I regained the ability to steer my bike. -----
