Bike Maintenance Day
« on: July 25, 2020, 01:59:32 PM »
Not much going on here in St Helena, time to do some bike maintenance, so cleaned-up these, completed safety check, getting 'em ready for a coupla of the grandkids.





And this one,



With two 2yo boys who have already shown some skills on their toy push-a-long bikes, I think these will get some good use.

And who could resist thisone at the local Honda dealer?  Well I couldn't.

At least the last two don't need chain oil like the first two.  Jus' sayin'.  :grin    |-i
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Liddle bit of surface rust is okay, the link pins move freely enough, no need to apply unecessary lube for little fingers, or for any mums to complain about. 

If daughter-in-law complained - it'd be like water-of-duck's-back; daughter complaints, well let's just say that her mother taught her too well.  Mmmm ... don't think Helen reads the Forum.

Did someone who doesn't ride a Honda make a comment?
