I need to fix my bike!
The rear wheel has a slow puncture and I need to replace the inner tube. And I need to put on new handlebar tape (currently clutching bare metal as I ride). And the gears need a little tuning. But I cannot go out into the yard without T following me. And if I go anywhere near the bike shed, he assumes we are going out for a nice ride and will throw a complete paddy if we don’t. And I can’t do the work after he goes to sleep because it’s dark by then.
My poor old boneshaker is going to fall to bits pretty soon.
