RE: Recyclistas – A Bike-Shop with a Holistic Approach
I love this. My bike hasn't been functional in years. I've tried working on it, a friend who knew what he was doing worked on it, shops have worked on it, and yet, after every fix something goes wrong again within the week. I gave up!
No way! I'm so sorry... Even professional bike mechanics have given up on it? How horrible. Maybe you should come to Recyclistas. Are you very far from Vancouver Island?
I am nowhere near - Denver, CO. LOL
Bike mechanics are always like, (eye roll) it's a simple fix, geez, you need (a new innertube, a spoke was bent, a derailer tuneup, whatever) - and with much condescension are like: there, you incompetent person.
Then a week later, I'm riding home and literally my back wheel stops turning. I had to carry the bike home!! That was when I gave up. Prior to that, the tires kept going flat even with new inntertubes and no punctures.
Oh.... I feel so bad for you! I know, I want to be good at understanding bikes, but I know not everyone can. That is also what pisses me off about so many people in "alternative" culture: their damn snootyness. I think this is a topic that would deserve a post on its own.
LOL! Oh my Gods, yes. The snooty tude, man. I'm like, I just want to bike to the grocery store, dude.
