winterbadgerYay! I once again have a computer that works on my bike.
Sometime ago, I carefully removed the detachable instrument panel/computer from my bike (as I did every time I rode) and took it inside. I took a reading ff it and then "carefully stored it" Someplace safe. Safe even from me, it would seem. I haven't been able to find it since.
I finally broke down and got another one, but I hadn't gotten around to putting it on. This afternoon, fearful that if left to my own devices I might just spend the entire beautiful day sitting indoors watching back episodes of 'Mad Men' and 'Flashpoint' (both of which I started watching recently and find I enjoy), I went out and put the new computer on (reading the directions, which are all in what the manufacturer clearly thought was universal wordless instructions, which need an anthropologist to decode). I also put on the new bell I had bought (the second, actually--the first wouldn't stay in place). And I cleaned and lubed the chain with new tools and fluids I had gotten a while ago and not yet tried out. Then I went for a short ride, my usual morning run. It was very nice! Chatted with one of the new neighbors when I got back and am trying to decide if I want to go out for a longer ride somewhere, and if so, where.
