'Blackies' back and badr' then ever!

I finally got 'Blackie' back from the shop...new axle, crank and spanking new pedals.
It takes like a bunch of minutes to get to work on the bike. Love it.
I've missed the bent old girl, but I took her for a ride after work and she glides better than ever with the new parts. It's actually smoother to pedal with no odd movements and wobbles.

Whats your wheels look like? Post some pics.

Tré cool bike Ro. I love riding my bike on these cold, but sunny days.

I think I need to get a bike. Seems all the cool kids have one! I'm just so tragically unco-ordinated...

Blackie? You mean ASTRID?!

Ruby is itching to have a bit of work done too, poor girl is a bit tired and rusty. Gotta spruce her up for another ride soon - I've been walking more than riding lately.

Astrid is her special name......

I can't believe I haven't named my bike yet and I've had her over a year now. Hmmm...deep in thought...
