A good neighbor...

So I am riding my bike home the other day and I had my neighbor pull up beside me in his truck and hollered out.."pull your bike up in the yard"...I'll fix it for you...

Oh my word!!! how could someone insult me like this..Sure...my bike isn't the most beautiful thing in the world...and yes it squeaks like a siren everytime I pedal and its hard as all get out to pedal and the back tire looks like it is so out of whack it wobbles like a newbie hula hoop user...But come on where is the professional distance, the respect of a bike's personal space..... Bike's have feelings too.... Or maybe as a true cyclist, he was responding to the bike's cry for help....Perhaps...

Well he fixed it...and it works like 50 million times better and it actually doesn't wear me out...and I actually have a little pride in it again and he added a flashing light to the back and a flashlight holder to the front....Ok ok......I am very happy he stopped me and I really wasn't offended... but should I be????

cheers

Greg
