High Point, North CarolinaWednesday, November 3, 2004
Have you ever broken, wrecked, or bent something that you didn't find out about until later? Well, I think that is what has happened here. Three weeks ago, while driving around Southern Maine, I recall backing the van and hitting a guardrail. Oops! I stopped, got out, and inspected the bikes and found no damage to speak of. Funny, looking at the bike today, I quickly notice the badly bent rim, how could I have missed that?
Jumping two days forward in time, before replacing the damaged rim with a $40 used rim, I feel the need to test ride the bike, just to make sure nothing else is broken.
Click on any or all of the images above to watch video taken from my diagnostic test ride.
Oh well, regardless of how the rim was bent, it has to be fixed. No worries, within short order the bike is back to its good ole self again. The rims no longer match, but, who cares! I certainly don't.
As they say, embrace diversity.
How about this little diddy, perhaps I'm the very first person to coin it. "Replace adversity with diversity."
Heh, that's kinda catchy, no? Checking for originality, Google tells me "No results found for 'Replace adversity with diversity'." Wow, I didn't expect that. I'm a poet but didn't know it... or something like that.
