Bike Repair

Our beloved tandem has been acting up lately.  I have been putting off bringing it into the shop because basically, it's a pain in the neck.  The bike shop near us is too expensive and has too long a wait these days, and the bike shop where I bought it is kind of far away.  So, I decided to try out the Bike-Repair-Guy-Who-Makes-Housecalls.

There is something about seeing a bike tune-up happen that is a little unnerving--no one wants to know how they make the sausages.  A few minutes ago I looked out the front window and the front wheel was off.  I didn't know they removed the front wheel when tuning up a bike.

But, he's highly recommended and priced very reasonably.  And with any luck my bike will now stay in gear.

Taken from really far away so I don't freak out the Bike-Repair-Guy-Who-Makes-Housecalls.  And, yes, those are giant raindrops on my window.  I guess when you are a bike repair guy in Amsterdam and don't work out of a shop, you get used to getting rained on.
