Good news/bad news on the Project ‘Whup Dan’ front:
Good news is, the bike shop got the gear shifts on my bike working properly so it now goes through the entire range of gears without dropping the chain, and also actually shifts IN to third, which it had never previously done. It’s a cheap bike and it’s the 3rd time I’ve brought it in to try to get this fixed, so I guess 3rd time is the charm.
Bad news is, it took a week so I probably have to fight the Battle of Bike Butt all over again. 😥
The other good news, though, is that I’m still feeling prepared to DO that. I am not emotionally defeated by the necessity! That’s…pretty surprising, actually! 🙂
