Leroy worked on his new bike today. He
put on toe clips. The only problem was that it was only about 40 degrees
outside and his fingers became so cold that he could not get the job done.
I encouraged him to bring the bike up
to the kitchen. After coming in and warming up that is what he did. There he
put on those toe clips with little difficulty. He had already put on reflectors
and tail light. His head light clips to his helmet so he did not lose that on
the stolen bike. Another little task was to attach a rear view mirror. The only
thing that is lacking is a kick stand which he may or may not put on because he
can manage without it.
Tomorrow he will ride to the museum on
this bike. He is ready to do that. Leroy was a little disgruntled because the
weather was more comfortable for riding, but he just did not want to be on that
other too large bike.
I did not ask if he has a computer on
this bike. I suspect not since it would not have a holder for it even if he had
taken it off for some reason. This bike does not have a rack so he will have to
carry whatever on his back in a backpack which is not as comfortable, but
workable.
Even though I did not think three
bikes could fit in our garage they do, but one will be leaving soon. As we have
no need of it. Sometimes getting rid of something in a responsible manner can
be a challenge. Leroy tells me he can donate it to the second hand shop where
he just bought his. When and how to get it there is another issue, but solvable.
