wayne i don't think i was ever in your class of hardcore bike boy. maybe close when i was in atlanta. but atlanta is surprisingly chill to bike around unlike chicago which can get hairy

I was supposed to bike last night but I changed my tire and the new tire kept rubbing on the frame and I couldn't get it to not rub and i crashed out so hard. Bike maintenance is such a pain 
You were missed. Bike maintenance is the worst, I only have been able to be ok with it by actively setting aside time to do whatever silly task I need to do. I say that, riding my bike around for months with a mildly bent derailleur hanger I've been procrastinating on bending back…I was supposed to bike last night but I changed my tire and the new tire kept rubbing on the frame and I couldn't get it to not rub and i crashed out so hard.

I have at least now acquired a smaller tire, surely I put it on before the next ride on sat >__>
the derailleur that came on my bike is apparently unsuited to my actual gear layout which is very funny / less funny when i get trapped in lowest gear after a climb and have to kick the derailleur until it shifts back up
however i am just adding it to the list for my next mechanic visit. i treat my bike like my car. i expend too much energy fixing computers in my spare time to fix other stuff.

Pretty sure this is more common than the other end of the spectrum! But if you're ever desiring repairing your bike yourself/with help I'm an easy roll down the hill from ya with a garage full of far too many toolsi treat my bike like my car.
that does sound very nice!!!
i want to clean up my single speed and put a new chain on it if you'd like to help with that actually
